Psalm 119 Day 12

Lamedh
119:89-96

Your word, O LORD, is eternal;
it stands firm in the heavens.

What can last?
The Bible says that knowing God through his Son, the very word of God is eternal life. (John 17:3).

Jesus after serving and dying on the cross went up to the heaven. His word stands firm in heaven.

Then why am I always think that this or that will last?

Peter says that we are born with imperishable word of God.


To all perfection I see a limit; but your commands are boundless.

Grass withers and flowers fall but the word of God stands forever. When I see the beautiful flower, I see perfection but it has limit. I will wither and die.

Without your word, I am nothing. I will become nothing. But you made me with your precious word and promised me that when I put my trust in your word, especially in your Son's word, you promised me to give me eternal life.

I saw my father who was full of energy and full of passion died. I remember the date (Jan 8th). Dr. Henry Park came from Columbus, OH and we spend the night together. He shared his father's story of conversion and putting his trust in Jesus. Already my father put his trust in you. I knew that I would miss him but was encouraged by Dr. Henry's word.

This week Missionary Mary Cowen's father in law died at the age of 88. We do not live forever.

My father in law is not doing so well. He is growing old and he has all sorts of health issues. But I do trust you. He trusts you. He believes that your word is eternal.

Help me not to forget your precepts. Your word saved me.
Where I can put my trust. I put my trust in your word. Your word sustained your people for many years. It will sustain them.
