Thy Word is Forever Settled in Heaven
Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 119:89-96. This portion of Psalm 119 starts with LAMED, which is the twelfth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and numerically represents 30. The Psalmist proclaims that God’s Word is forever settled in heaven. This is a promise we can base our life on.
God is eternal; He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is not going to change His mind about loving us. He is faithful and His faithfulness is to all generations. God created the earth and everything in the earth, and it still abides today. His servants continue serving Him according to His ordinances.
The Psalmist declares if God’s law hadn’t been his delight, he would have perished in his affliction. He promises he’ll never forget the precepts of the LORD, because they’ve preserved his life. He asks God to save him, because he has sought the precepts of God.
He says the wicked have waited to destroy him, but he kept his focus on God’s testimonies. He declares he’s seen the limits of all perfection, but God’s commandments are eternal.

Psalm 119:89-96
89 LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
92 Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.
93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.
94 I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.
95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
Things to Think About:
- Do you find comfort in knowing God’s Word is settled forever in heaven?
- Do you treasure the faithfulness of God?
- Do you try to learn the ways of the LORD?
Prayer of the Day:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 119, where the Psalmist reminds us that Your word is eternally settled in heaven. That is something we can take great comfort in, knowing that You are not going to change Your mind. Your promises are eternal. Help us to treasure You and Your word and hide Your word in our hearts that we might not sin against You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
