Psalm 119:89-96 For ever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven.… The great problem in the construction of large lighthouses upon high and necessarily exposed points is, how best to prevent oscillation or swaying of the structure in times of prevailing wind or storm. It may be readily perceived that any variation, however slight, in the direction of the rays of light from the lamps when the lighthouse is in use, as at night, would make very material difference to the mariner far out at sea. Ships guiding their course in the path of the lighthouse beams would he very liable to be thrust from the line of safety altogether, and thus there would be created the danger of serious disaster, if indeed not actually causing loss to life and property. But no such danger confronts the Christian mariner out upon life's sea, for God's guiding light, the lighthouse of the Scriptures, is "fixed in heaven." (G. V. Reichell.) Parallel Verses KJV: LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. |
