God’s Constancy Is Our Assurance
Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity (Psalm 93:2).
Scripture: Psalm 93
Song: “Everlasting God”
The Cairn de Barnenez is considered by many to be the oldest building still standing. It is estimated that the structure, in modern France, was constructed around 4850 BC, making it 2,000 years older than the ancient pyramids. Over centuries this structure has withstood all of the torture that nature and man has thrown at it, yet it still stands.
I doubt that when troubling storms move through the region that the inhabitants living near the ancient building rush over to make sure it has survived the elements. Its very history and presence might lead us to expect that it will survive many more trials for years to come.
The throne of the Lord has outlasted much more than just storms and abuse. It is more than prehistoric. It is eternal, without beginning or end. It has not decayed by time or weakened by winds or crashing waves. The very eternal existence and fortitude of the Lord makes Him the only one in whom we can trust in whatever may come. This assurance provides peace and focus in our lives despite what goes on around us.
Lord, thank You for being an everlasting God that is stronger than the waves and more reliable than the rising of the sun. In Jesus’ name, amen.
