ENDURES
“you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God. But the word of the Lord endures forever.”
1 Peter 1: 23, 25
Did you know that the word “evolve” can’t be found in the Bible? I searched the KJV, NAS, and NIV translations. Not once is “evolve” used. “Endureth,” “endures,” and “enduring” can be found 60 times. In this day and age where people say their moral beliefs are “evolving,” I’m thankful for God who remains unchanged. He and His word “endure.” The Greek word “endure” means “remains, is kept, continues to be.” Aren’t you glad that what God has said will not evolve into something different? He and His word endure.
Lord God, I praise You that I don’t have to wonder if You or Your Word will change. I can trust You for who You are and what You say. You and Your word ENDURE forever!
I think this is going to be my favorite one for February. With all of he moral dilemmas in the newspapers right now, it is good to be reminded that, as we decide where we stand on each issue, that we hang tight to those things that endure not to the evershifting sand of evolutionary morals.
Thanks, Geni. I appreciate your encouraging comments!
