Read Psalm 119:137-144.

How much of the Word of God is correct? Is it God's Word or man's
word about God? Should the view of Scripture change with changing
cultures? Should not other opinions and views be equally considered?
Every generation wrestles in one way or another with the claims of the
Scriptures. Here in this eighteenth stanza the psalmist could not be more
clear in addressing those questions.
1. The LORD is right. (v.137a)
2. What He said is right. (v.137b)
3. What He said is based upon His right character. (v.138)
4. What He said has been proven right. (v.140)
5. God's right character will not change. (v.142)
6. God's right Word will not change. (v.144)
This is why the psalmist could state with such confidence, "I consider all
your precepts to be right; I hate every false way." (Psalm 119:128)
Jesus said, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words will not pass
away." (Matthew 24:35)
Then, how vital for life it is to know and implement the Scriptures in order to
be right with God!
