Father,
Your omniscience reveals Your
divine nature. And history proves that You are the God of the Bible and that Your
Word is true. You are Yahweh, unthwartable and invincible. All that You have
spoken will be fully realized, according to Your good will and divine purpose.
Your Word goes out and accomplishes all that You have purposed, and it never
goes out and returns void. Thank You for the revelation contained in Your Word
and the preservation of Your Word through the ages, that we may grow in our
wisdom and knowledge of You and of Jesus, and rejoice always in the Lord as You
fulfill Your Word in our lives and in the world. You are able to cause us to stand firm and strengthen
us in the Lord, that we may rejoice at His appearing. In Jesus’ Name I pray,
Amen.
