Psa 119:89 KJV Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
The words of man come and go--unestablished. The wisdom of man fails to provide him with the needs of his soul. How foolish it is for man, whose breath is in nostrils, (Is 2:22) to try to lead his own way into the righteousness of God. He is like a dog who, denying his master’s guidance into unfamiliar territory, holds his own leash in his mouth.
The way to God has been established forever in the Heavenlies. It has been established in a way that none can change it. They can temper with the written Word; they can comment on it to take away its “salt”; but they can never, oh no never, temper with the Word that is written in the Heavenlies.
Moses gave his message according to what he saw in a Heavenly vision (Ex 25:9,40). Daniel was taken to the Heavenlies in visions and dreams to be shown the established future of the world (Dan 7:1;8:1;10:5), and so were Abraham, Isaiah, Jeremiah, John the Revelator, and many others.
From the beginning, God wrote the story of the world in the heavenly scrolls of the stars so that man would know that his redemption was nigh, coming from Him(Gen 1:14; Is 46:10; Psa 19:1-6), and none can temper with that.
When you feel your feet in this world on the muddy quicksand of the uncertainty of humanity, jut look up! Yes, look up and see the unmovable, the unchangeable, the unshakable. The realm where man has never been, but which is the sole habitation of God. Look up and remember that His Words and promises to you are as untamperable as what you see in the sky. They can tamper with the meanings and of His Words, but never with the Word Itself, and praise God for that.
Isa 55:10-11 KJV For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: (11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
