Title: Forever Faithful

Scripture:
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” — Isaiah 40:8 (KJV)

Devotional Thought:

In a world where trends fade, promises break, and circumstances change, Isaiah 40:8 reminds us of one powerful truth — God’s Word never fails. Everything around us is temporary, but the Word of God stands unshaken through generations. His promises are not bound by time or circumstance.

The Bible tells us, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matthew 24:35). God’s faithfulness is eternal, and His Word is our anchor in every storm. When life feels uncertain, His truth gives us stability, direction, and peace.

True Story:

During World War II, a soldier named James carried a small pocket Bible with him everywhere he went. He often read Isaiah 40:8 when fear crept into his heart. One night, during a fierce battle, a bullet struck him — but when he looked down, the bullet had lodged in his Bible, stopping at that very verse: “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”
James survived that night, and for the rest of his life, he testified that God’s Word not only saved his soul but also saved his life.

Life Application:

In our daily lives, we face shifting seasons — loss, uncertainty, disappointment. But through it all, God remains forever faithful. His Word endures when everything else fades.

• When people fail you, His promises stand.

• When dreams crumble, His Word rebuilds hope.

• When fear rises, His truth brings peace.

Make it your goal today to stand on His promises. Read His Word, speak His Word, and trust His Word — because it will never fade away.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being the same yesterday, today, and forever. When the world changes and everything around me fades, help me to stand firm on Your unchanging Word. Strengthen my faith to trust Your promises and live according to Your truth. Let Your Word guide my steps and fill my heart with peace.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
