Psalm 33:11: The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
He changes not his purpose, his decree is not frustrated, his designs are accomplished. God has a predestination according to the counsel of his will, and none of the devices of his foes can thwart his decree for a moment. Men come and go, sons follow their fathers to the grave, but the undisturbed mind of God moves on in unbroken serenity, producing ordained results with faultless certainty. His power to fulfill his purposes is by no means diminished from generation to generation. 1
Living the Transformed Life
O Lord, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, For You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. Isaiah 25:1
- Will you accept the Bible, not as an optional truth, but as the only truth?
- Will you accept the Bible, not as some good points to be debated, but as an absolute truth to be obeyed?
- Will you accept the Bible, not as a book of antiquity, but as the living Word of God?
The battle for the Bible is a battle worth fighting, from generation to generation.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You, Father, for blessing the world with Your written Word. Dear Jesus, make us students of the Word, rightly teaching Your truth to every generation.
