Psalm 119:142 | “Your righteousness is righteous forever, and your law is true.”

The psalmist grounds his confidence in what does not change. God’s righteousness is everlasting. It does not fade with time, bend to culture, or adjust to human preference. What God declares to be right remains right forever because it flows from his own unchanging character. For that reason, God’s law is true. Spurgeon states this plainly: “We hear great disputes about, ‘What is truth?’ The holy Scriptures are the only answer to that question. Note, that they are not only true, but the truth itself. We may not say of them that they contain the truth, but that they are the truth: ‘thy law is the truth.’” Because God does not change, his word does not change. To live in obedience to his instruction is to live in step with reality. To reject his word, no matter how persuasive or impressive the alternative may appear, is to walk in an empty illusion, severed from what is eternally true. Do not be tempted to evaluate your life by shifting feelings or persuasive voices, but by what God has declared to be right. No matter what the world, the flesh, or the devil may whisper, God’s word remains the only steady ground that will never give way.
