Psalms 119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

The world and its vanity can vanish away; thy testimonies are founded forever.
My friends and their fickle ways can bid me leave; thy testimonies are founded forever.

Of this rest assured, my friend: that the world was not founded on temporal material.   It does not rest on wooden beams and cement foundations.  Nails and glue do not hold it together, nor is it sewn together like a garment.  Wheels and gears activated by uncertain fuel powers do not hold it in space nor make it turn.  It is the sureties of the testimonies of God that hold it all together, my friend.  

Look at the earth. Would you be afraid to build something too heavy on it, or that the weight of an excess of population would bring it down?  Do you think that you could build a wall too high that could hinder its revolutions in space?  

Nay my friend; the testimonies of God are not founded on the material elements of this temporal world, they are founded on the immutable eternity of God.  A sparrow does not fall; neither does a hair of your head without His permission (Mat 12:29; Luk 12:7).  

Rest assured then of the testimonies of God!  Rest assured that what He has said He will perform (Numb 23:19); that what He has created He will nurture and protect (Zec 2:8); that what He has given He will not take away (Rom 11:29); and that He forever will be with you (Heb 13:5).

Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
