Isaiah 40:8 - Hope From God's Word!

Isaiah 40:8 (NKJV) The grass withers, the 
flower fades, But the word of our God stands 
forever."  

COMMENTARY PEARL

   A missionary in China who was imprisoned 
by the Japanese during World War II, managed to 
take a forbidden Gospel of John with her into 
prison. She carefully hid it, and each night when 
she went to bed, she pulled the covers over her 
head and memorized one verse. She did this until 
the day she was freed. 
   When the prisoners were released, most of 
them shuffled out, but the missionary was so 
chipper someone said she must have been brainwashed. 
A Life magazine reporter who had interviewed 
her said, "She's been brainwashed for sure. God 
washed her brain." 
   I urge you not only to read God's Word 
but to memorize it. You may find It hard at 
first, but as you repeat a verse or a group of 
verses over and over to yourself, you will find 
they begin to take root in your soul. The 
Psalmist declared, 'Your word I have hidden in my 
heart, that I might not sin against You" (Ps. 
119:11). Then when adversity or troubles arise, those 
verses will come back and give you hope. 
   Is God's Word stored up in your heart and 
mind for the future? 
   Gods Word is alive and active and it 
is a powerful sword in time of battle.  Spend 
time daily reading the Bible, meditating on it, 
and memorizing scripture.  It is through these 
times of training that we implant Gods Word in 
our hearts.  When the enemy strikes, it is too 
late to learn how to wield the sword. [Hope for 
Each Day by Billy Graham]
