Ever been a part of a miracle? If you've held a Bible, you've experienced the miraculous. If Congress had written the Bible, it would take a crane to lift it. But because God wrote it, you can carry His entire message around in one hand. And He has promised us He will preserve His Word.

What Does God Say?

Read Matthew 5:18 and Matthew 24:35.

What does Jesus promise about His Word?

Read Psalm 119:89:

What does the Psalmist say about God's Word?

Read Isaiah 40:8:

How long does Isaiah say God's Word will stand?

Read 1 Peter 1:23 and 25:

Where does Peter say your life in Christ comes from? How long will it last?

The Bible tells us God has given His Word to us so we will know what He wants to say to us. And God has promised His Word will last forever.

My Thoughts

• Why do you think God thought it important to preserve His Word to us? Write down three reasons.
• Create a drawing that illustrates the longevity of God's Word.
• Give at least one reason you're grateful that God's Word is forever.

My Part

It is important to know with assurance (a deep and settled conviction) that God has preserved and will preserve His Word. The message of salvation depends on it, and it is the means of God doing His work in you.

"Therefore, we never stop thanking God that when you received his message from us, you didn't think of our words as mere human ideas. You accepted what we said as the very word of God--which, of course, it is. And this word continues to work in you who believe" (1 Thessalonians. 2:13, NLT).

Take time today to give God thanks for His eternal Word.
