REMAIN
Today's reading: Matthew 22-25

"Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will remain forever." Matthew 24:35 NLT

Remain-to be a part not destroyed, taken or used up; to be something to be shown, done or treated; to continue unchanged.

What better word could be used to describe God's Word than 'remain'?

To know the Scriptures will not be destroyed! Not taken from our hearts! Never used up in its ability to teach us, encourage us, convict us and grow us into the likeness of Christ! It's storehouse of knowledge will never be emptied.

It continues, after all these years, translations and printings, to amaze us with what it holds.

Whether treated as the holy article it is or burned by enemies of the Gospel, its words change lives.

It continues unchanged regardless of the cover placed on it, the grade level it's written in or the color of the words.

In an ever changing world, I needed this reminder of the steadfastness of God's written Word.
