THE WORD IN THE HEAVENLIES

Psalms 119:89 For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

The words of man come and go through the doors of time un-established. The wisdom of man fails to provide for the needs of our soul. How foolish it is for man whose breath is in nostrils (Isaiah 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 instructed the people according to what he saw in a Heavenly vision (Exodus 25:9,40). Daniel was taken, in both visions and dreams, to the Heavenlies where he was shown the pre-determined future of the world (Daniel 7:1;8:1;10:5). Abraham, Isaiah, Jeremiah, John the revelator, as well as many others saw the living Word of God in the heavenlies..

From the beginning God wrote the redemptive story of the world in the celestial scrolls of the stars. He did it so that man would know that his redemption was nigh, coming from Him (Genesis 1:14; Is 46:10; Psalms 19:1-6), and none can temper with that.

When we feel our earthly feet in the muddy quicksand of an uncertain humanity, we can just look up. Yes we can look up and see the unmovable, the unchangeable, the unshakable celestial realm of God. The place where man has never been but is the sole habitation of God. The place where man cannot change parameters, but would destroy his own self. We can look up and remember that His Words and promises to us are as un-temperable as what we see in the sky. Oh yes, they can temper with the meanings and of His Words, but never with the Word Itself, and praise God for that.

Isaiah 55:10-11 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.
