long have I known from your testimonies that you have founded them forever. [psalm 119:152]

 

your testimonies – all of God’s words … are his words, his voice.

that you have founded them – they come from, originate in God’s heart and mind and come from his very being. he speaks truth because he is Truth. his testimonies are righteous because he is Righteous. he gives life through his words because he is Life.

founded them forever “the grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.” [is 40:8]  this is true! God’s words, his truth will stand forever. but also true is his word is from forever. let these words soak into your heart and mind today. he is Truth and his truth is from before our time began and will stand till after our time ends! amen!

 

long have I known from your testimonies that you have founded them forever. [ps 119:152]

your testimonies are righteous forever; give me understanding that I may live. [ps 119:144]

I AM the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” [rev 1:8]

I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” [rev 22:13]

who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the Lord, the first, and with the last; I AM he. [is 41:4]

thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: “I AM the first and I AM the last; besides me there is no god. who is like me? let him proclaim it. let him declare and set it before me, since I appointed an ancient people. let them declare what is to come, and what will happen. fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? and you are my witnesses! is there a God besides me? there is no Rock; I know not any.” [is 44:6-8]
