When he was younger, my son Xavier and I read a fictional children’s story about a boy who rebelled against his teacher by referring to a pen by a made-up name. The student convinced his fellow fifth graders to use the new name he created for pens. News about the boy’s replacement word spread through the whole town. Eventually, people across the country changed the way they referred to pens, simply because others accepted one boy’s made-up reality as a universal truth.

Throughout history, flawed human beings have embraced ever-changing versions of truth or personal preferred realities to suit their desires. However, the Bible points to one truth, the one true God, and one way to salvation—the Messiah—though which “the glory of the Lord will be revealed” (Isaiah 40:5). The prophet Isaiah affirmed that people, like all created things, are temporal, fallible, and unreliable (vv. 6-7). He said, “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever” (v. 8).

Isaiah’s prophecy of the coming Messiah provides a dependable foundation, a safe refuge, and a secured hope. We can trust God’s word because Jesus Himself is the Word (John 1:1). Jesus is the Truth who never changes.

Hello, my name is Xochitl Dixon. I share a personal story with a profound message in today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread.

The truth never changes. When he was younger, my son Xavier and I read a fictional children's story about a boy who rebelled against his teacher by referring to a pen by a made-up name. The student convinced his fellow fifth graders to use the new name he created for pens.

News about the boy's replacement word spread throughout the whole town. Eventually, people across the country changed the way they referred to pens simply because others accepted one boy's made-up reality as a universal truth. Throughout history, flawed human beings have embraced ever-changing versions of truth or personal preferred realities to suit their desires. However, the Bible points to one truth, the one true God, and one way to salvation, the Messiah, through whom the glory of the Lord will be revealed. The prophet Isaiah affirmed that people, like all created things, are temporal, fallible, and unreliable. He said in Isaiah chapter 40 verse 8, the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever. Isaiah's prophecy of the coming Messiah provides a dependable foundation, a safe refuge, and a secured hope. We can trust God's Word because Jesus himself is the Word.

Jesus is the truth who never changes. Today's Our Daily Bread devotional scripture reading is from Isaiah chapter 40 verses 1 to 8. Comfort, comfort my people, says your God.

Speak tenderly to Jerusalem and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins. A voice of one calling. In the wilderness, prepare the way for the Lord. Make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low. The rough ground shall become level. The rugged places a plain, and the glory of the Lord will be revealed. And all people will see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken. A voice says, cry out.

And I said, what shall I cry? All people are like grass, and all their faithfulness 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 endures forever. Let's pray. Dear Jesus, please help us live in a way that shows we believe the Bible is the truth that never changes. In your name we pray. Amen. Today's encouragement was provided by Our Daily Bread Ministries.
