"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever." (Isaiah 40:8, KJV)
The God who created and governs this entire universe remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. Similarly, the words that proceed from His mouth are also eternal and imperishable. It is by these eternal words of God that all the heavens and the earth were formed. We, too, receive the experience of salvation or being born again through His Word.
The apostle Peter affirms this, saying, "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever." (1 Peter 1:23, KJV) The words of God redeem us from sin, grant us freedom, and help us attain eternal life.
Not only that, but God’s words also create, sustain, and even destroy. As it is written, "But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men." (2 Peter 3:7, KJV)
Continuing with today’s meditation verse, the apostle Peter writes, "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you." (1 Peter 1:24-25, KJV) This means that the proclamation of the gospel is the declaration of God’s imperishable words.
God’s imperishable words are not like grass or flowers that fade away. Instead, His words accomplish the purposes He has planned. As it is written, "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55:10-11, KJV) Therefore, it is essential for us to be eager about God’s words and to treasure them in our hearts.
The righteous Job understood this truth well. That is why he said, "Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food." (Job 23:12, KJV) Just as we preserve food in refrigerators to prevent it from spoiling, Job stored God’s words in the "refrigerator" of his heart and guarded them carefully.
Yes, dear friends, because Job guarded God’s words in this way, he was able to endure great suffering. Let us also store God’s words in our hearts and protect them. In times of trouble, they will be the medicine that sustains us.
