Stands forever
Isaiah the prophet writes,
“A voice says, “Cry out.” And I said, “What shall I cry?”
“All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, because the breath of the LORD blows on them. Surely the people are grass.
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:6-8.
When I read this portion of scripture I thought of a poem I memorized in my youth it reads,
“Last eve I passed beside a blacksmith's door,
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime;
Then, looking in, I saw upon the floor
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time.
"How many anvils have you had," said I,
"To wear and bater all these hammers so?"
"Just one," said he, and then, with twinkling eye,
The anvil wears the hammers out, you know."
And so, thought I, the anvil of God's Word,
For ages skeptic blows have beat upon;
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heard,
The anvil is unharmed - and hammers gone.”

The bible the word of God and its truths have been around for millennium. In that time it has had many sceptics and unbelievers. Many in a position of power have tried to stop its spread. All to no avail.
The word of God will be heard and nothing man can do will ever stop Gods word from being heard in every corner of the world.
Do you believe this?
Please think about it.
