Episode 313: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 279

Episode Summary:

Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes. (Psalm 119:9-12)

7 Now, just before approaching the Word… And I won’t keep you long. I usually get out four hours, five, something like that. But tonight, we’ll cut part off and make it thirty minutes. So then, I’ve got to go right on in other revivals, and I certainly appreciate this invitation.

Now, as I read the Word… If nothing else matters, the reading of the Word will do something for you. And I’m going to read one verse. It’s not very much. It isn’t… it isn’t the size of it; it’s what it is. That’s what counts. And it’s not the paper it’s wrote on. It’s what’s in the Word, because God’s Word is eternal. My words will fail; His words cannot fail. Mine’s a man, and His is God’s. So if my words fail to reach the place that God has intended tonight for our gathering together, and to put something with the songs to go on, then I pray that you’ll get God’s Word, and it’ll take the place, for it’s…

8 Any time that God is ever called on the scene to make a decision, and when He makes the decision, that has to forever be His same decision. Now remember, He cannot change His mind, because He’s perfect. You believe God’s perfect? You believe He’s infinite? Certainly He’s infinite. Well, if He’s infinite, well, then, He—He can’t learn any more. Now, we’re finite, so we can just keep learning, and take this back, and add something more, and take away. But God can’t, see. He’s perfect. Every decision is perfect. So you must always remember: keep your minds and hearts on His Word.

Oh, this is a terrible day we’re living in. You know, the deceiving time is the evening time. But He promised us we’d have Light in the evening time. He promised that. And as the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west, it’s not another sun; it’s the same sun that sets in the west that rose in the east. His prophet said there’ll be a time there’d be a dismal day, not neither night nor day. And… but said in the evening time it shall be Light again. So we’ve had that, and how the evening Light of the finish of the day.

9 And now, always remember that… God makes a decision, it’s perfect every time. So when He says anything, it must always remain that way. So that gives us confidence that we can put our trust exactly in what He says. It’s the truth, see.

Never vary from His Word. Keep His Word in your heart. I believe David said he’d hid His Word in his heart that he might not sin against it. Now, if we’d just remember that.
