FOREVER

“‘I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel.’ For he is the living God and he endures forever; his kingdom will not be destroyed, his dominion will never end.” – Daniel 6:26

Pastor Joe Wittwer of Spokane Foursquare Church penned the following about the hymn “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” written by Elisha Hoffman:

“When I was a young Christian, we used to sing the hymn, ‘Leaning on the everlasting arms.’

‘What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms;

What a blessedness, what a peace is mine,

Leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms,

Leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms.’

That song comes from this verse: “underneath are the everlasting arms.”

If God were temporary, here today and gone tomorrow, you’d never know if He was going to be there for you. Others come and go, but you can count on Him because He is the eternal God, and underneath you are the everlasting arms.”

Unlike earthly kingdoms and earthly kings, Jesus Christ reigns forever. Today in prayer, praise the Lord that His reign and Kingdom lasts forever.

“Forever, God is faithful
Forever, God is strong
Forever, God is with us
Forever, forever.” – Chris Tomlin

God’s Word: “He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations, and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.” – Daniel 7:14
