Psalms 119:89

Psalms 119:89 says, LAMED  Again there is the separating letter, the verse eighty-nine says, For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.  As David said then, God's word is forever settled in heaven, and we can add on earth as well. Even if people don't believe God's word, it is settled, or true forever.  Verse ninety adds, Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. Gods faithfulness to those who trust Him by putting their faith in Jesus Christ will always remain.  Verse ninety-one continues, They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.  David said that God's laws and faithfulness continued to his day, and they do to ours as well.  Of course, even though they apply to everyone, they only have meaning for those who are God's servants, those who have put their faith in Jesus Christ.  Verse ninety-two declares, Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.  David said that had he not delighted in God's law he would have perished, and so will anyone spiritually who does not delight in, or accept and live by, God's law.  Verse ninety-three adds, I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.  We, like David, must never forget God's precepts, or laws, because by them we are quickened, or made alive spiritually.  Verse ninety-four states, I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.  David declared himself to be God's because he had sought God's precepts.  We as Christians today are God's because we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, and once we do we are to follow God's precepts, or laws.  Verse ninety-five adds, The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.  Even if the wicked wait to destroy us today, we must always follow God's testimonies, or His laws.  Verse ninety-six continues, I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.  David said he had seen an end to everything the world considered perfect, but that God's word was true in all cases.  God's word will never end nor be proven wrong.
