Have you ever noticed that very little gets settled in this world? Few things are resolved politically. We sign treaties and contracts, and then they’re broken or reinterpreted. Nothing seems final. Your life maybe unsettled because of a situation or person. If that’s the case, consider verses 89: “Forever, O LORD, Thy Word is settled in heaven.”

My word—or anyone’s, for that matter—is not settled. But God’s Word is always true. We can trust it. We don’t have to worry about Him lying to us. He can’t.

God’s Word is eternal, Jesus said in Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my Words will by no means pass away.” God’s Word also is challenges. God is not a diplomat who argues endlessly. He simply says, “this is the way it is going to be.” If you want to find out how He has settled things, read His Word.

I am glad that when I open my Bible, I find that things are settled. God tells us how to solve problems, how to take care of sin. Best of all, He tells us how we can get to heaven. That’s all settled. The Lord Jesus Christ died for us on the cross, rose again and will save all who come to Him by faith.

The strength and stability of God’s Word stand out as a beacon in the instability and unsettledness of life. Because it is true, eternal and challenges, we may trust it and live by its truth. God has settled the questions of sin, death, salvation and eternal life. Do you need to settle these questions for yourself? Read and study His Word.
