Psalms 119:152 Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.
Oh Lord, 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 we can rest assured: the world was not founded on temporal material elements. It does not rest on wooden beams and cement foundations. Nails and glue do not hold it; nor is it sawn together like a garment. Wheels and gears activated by uncertain fuel powers do not hold it in space nor make it turn. It is only and solely the sureties of the testimonies of God that hold it all together.
Look at the earth, would we be afraid to build on it something so heavy that it cannot hold it? Would an excess of population bring it down? Can we build something so high that it could hinder its revolutions in space?
Nay my friend; but the testimonies of God are founded on His immutable eternity. A sparrow does not fall, neither does a hair of our head without His permission (Matthew 12:29; Luke 12:7).
We can rest assured in the surety of God’s testimonies. We can rest assured that what He has said He will perform (Numbers 23:19); that what He has created He will nurture and protect (Zecheriah 2:8); that what He has given He will not take away (Romans 11:29); and that the One who never lies gave us the promise of His presence (Hebrews 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.
