Nothing will stand in the way of the Word

 His Word shall live forever.

The Word is a sword that pierces the heart

And its truth is a light that cuts through the dark

Of this world.

Nations shall rise and nations shall fall

But nothing shall stand in the way

Of the Word. - Iona

I was young and now I am much older and there is one thing that I am more convinced of than ever. God's Word, the Bible, is the only truth that cuts through all of the darkness that this world offers me. Time-bound kingdoms, the ones that ruled over large swaths of this planet and even the one that currently commands the sons and daughters of disobedience cannot stand in its way. 

The Word is sufficient in the ultimate and proximate sense as there is nothing of which it does not speak nor conquer. It's light, almost blinding at times, cannot be dimmed. Revelation after revelation, promise after promise, peace upon peace - it's all there and as it marches on it smashes the wisdom of the wise confounding the schemes of the clever. 

Where is its rival? What stands in its way? What builds siege works against it? I have not, ever, found its equal. Nor will I ever for He, its source and culmination, has no one above nor beside Him. 

No one.
