Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.
Jesus Christ in this chapter [Matthew 24] speaks of His second coming, the signs of the end of the age, and encouragement for the disciples to be prepared and expect them. This message is still valid for us today. Jesus Christ here assures us of the certainty of His words.
The word of God is more sure and lasting than heaven and earth. Whatever He has spoken, He will do it. We have more hope and assurance if we choose to stand upon the word of God than if we hope in pillars of heaven, or stand on the strong foundations of the earth. While the heaven and earth will be made to tremble and will one day be no more, the word of God shall remain, and be in full force, power, and virtue. Though the fulfilment of the prophesies of Christ may seem to be delayed, in God’s time, which is the best time, and in God’s way, which is the best way, it will certainly be fulfilled. Every word of God is very pure, and therefore very sure.
Are you standing on any word or promise of God? Though it may seem to be delayed, you can trust in Him, for His promise will come to pass at the best time and in the best way. He honours His word and He is always watching over it to perform it. Are you in a situation where you feel like there is no hope? You can find His word or His promise concerning that situation, and find rest in the knowledge that His word and promises concerning you will come to pass if you receive and believe them. Halleluyah!
Prayer: My Loving Father, thank You for Your Word that is pure, powerful and certain. You have assured me today that Your Word will surely come to pass. Father, today I choose to trust in You and stand on Your Word. I choose to be a testimony that heaven and earth will pass away but Your Word will never pass away. Your word will always be fulfilled. Grant me grace and strength as I wait on You, Lord, for the fulfilment of Your word in my life. In Jesus Name, Amen.
