Psalm 119:89-96
ל Lamedh
89 Your word, Lord, is eternal;
it stands firm in the heavens.
90 Your faithfulness continues through all generations;
you established the earth, and it endures.
91 Your laws endure to this day,
for all things serve you.
92 If your law had not been my delight,
I would have perished in my affliction.
93 I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have preserved my life.
94 Save me, for I am yours;
I have sought out your precepts.
95 The wicked are waiting to destroy me,
but I will ponder your statutes.
96 To all perfection I see a limit,
but your commands are boundless.
Matthew 5:48
Be Perfect as God is Perfect
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
We might sometimes forget that God's Word is eternal...God's Word is known on earth but it is firmly fixed in the heavens...The Bible was written long ago, but God's Word extends to all generations, including today's...God's Word will not pass away, it will continue to be with us...
The Living Bible interprets these verses like this...Forever, O LORD, Your Word stands firm in heaven...Your faithfulness extends to every generation, like the earth you created; it endures by your decree, for everything serves Your plans...I would have despaired and perished unless your laws had been my deepest delight...I will never lay aside your laws, for You have used them to restore my joy and health...I am Yours!...Save me!...For I have tried to live according to Your desires...Though the wicked hide along the way to kill me, I will quietly keep my mind upon Your promises...Nothing is perfect except Your words...
God is Perfect...God's Word is Perfect...
