Dear friend,
The important thing in this world is not what you and I have said, nor whether or not we have done what we have said. This is obvious, for such things come and go, and yet the world carries on as it has been.
What is really important is what God has said and whether He is doing what He is saying. "Do as thou hast said." He said so, and it was so. Thus was how the heaven and the earth were created in the first place. And everything continues as it has been because He does what He said.
He said many more other things revealed to us in His Holy Word, the drama of redemption. He is doing what He has said, and we constantly want to be assured of that. What if God really stop doing what He has said? What would become of this world? And how shall we live, if God's Word cannot be trusted, like man's word often cannot be? If there is nothing stable, how shall we measure and relate meaningfully and confidently? May God "establish thy word unto thy servant." To establish is to make something firm and steady. If God's Word is firm and steady in our life, we can start to relate all things to that which cannot be moved. Then there would be consistency and meaning in all our actions and aspirations. It is a disservice to us when we are made to doubt the Word of God.
How can God's promises be "exceeding great and precious" if His Word is not certain with us? "For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?" (1 Corinthians 14:8) Why do you think some churches are suffering from lack of soldiers prepared for battle?
