The Word Will Outlast Your Problems

While reading John 1:1-In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, something very interesting came to me. Before any of your problems came about, God and His Word were here. When all of your problems are gone, God and His Word will still be ruling all things. Therefore, nothing was created outside of His ability and nothing can be destroyed without His permission. Let's take a look at how far-reaching that is.
Is someone your problem? Who created man in His image? Compare how long God has been around with how long your someone problem is. Which one has been supremely successful in all of His endeavors? Out of all of the people that stood up against God, i.e. Pharaoah, Nebuchadnezzer, Ananias and Saphira, the religious people of Jesus' day---how many of them kept God from performing His Word? None of them did. You will never find where someone outsmarted God or got one over on Him. Ps 46:6-The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. So go ahead, let that ole heathen rage, whether it's your spouse, in-law, bossman, mean-spirited pastor, teen-ager or terrible two-year-old. They can rage and move others to frustration. They can even move kindoms towards destruction. But. when God utters His voice, or He has already uttered His voice, they will melt. Now if you believe that, give God a shout AND QUIT WORRYING ABOUT THAT HEATHEN!!!!!! God and His Word will be around a lot longer than him.
What kind of situation are you facing? Nerves? Bills? Oppression? God and His Word were here before any of them and God and His Word will be here long after they are gone. Take some time to read 2 Chron 17:14-19 and add up all of the men that waited on Jehoshaphat. Over one million men!!!!!! That did not count the people that the king put in the cities as guards. Now read 2 Chron 20:1-3. An army came to fight him so big that it made Jehoshaphat afraid. Just how big of an army could that have been to make a one-million-plus army afraid and the king call for a nationwide fast!!!! They were looking at destruction, pestilence, death, poverty and slavery.
Read 2 Chron 20:10. It is almost a prayer quote of God's Word in 2 Chron 7:14. Jehoshaphat spoke God's Word back to Him in his prayer for deliverance. God honored his prayer by telling him and the people not to be afraid. The battle was His!!! Then the Levites did what I want to do about now and that's lift up a shout!! I bet campmeetin' broke out. They were still in the mood the next morning when they assembled to march towards the enemies camp. They discussed it and said that if God gave His Word and said not to fear, then the only alternative is to sing praises to Him because the battle is already won. They put praisers out in front of the army and praised the beauty of holiness and declared that the mercy of the Lord endures forever. By the time they got to the battlefield, every last one of their enemies were dead. The people of God were not only free because of the Word, but the enemy had brought so much gold and jewelry with them that it took three days to haul it away.
When it looked like all was lost, God's Word turned certain defeat into vast riches. WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE. The moral of the story is.....The Word Will Outlast Your Problems.
