I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. Psalm 138.2 ESV

In life we all have moments when we’ve hoped for better outcomes and experienced disappointment. Many times our spirit begins to grow weary and we allow doubt to creep into our hearts. It is in those times that we need to be reminded that based on the word of God we have a guarantee that cannot be broken; all things will work for our good. The Psalmist exclaims that God’s exalted name and word is greater than all things. We can stand on God’s name because it encompasses everything we need strength, power, healing, holiness, provision, and peace. We can stand on his word because he is the Word that has always existed and cannot fail, “In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”(John 1.1 GWT) Counteract your circumstances, your past, and the negative voices in your ear with the living Word, there is nothing more sure and reliable for “it is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts as deep as the place where soul and spirit meet.” (Hebrews 4:12 GWT)

The grass dries up, the flowers wither, but the decree of our God is forever reliable." (Isaiah 40:8 NET Bible)
