Beneath The Breath Of Holy Flame: Christ Remains

Though earth be rent and stars consume with flame,
Yet shall Thy Word endure, steadfast the same.
The seas may roar and kingdoms flee away,
But Thou, O Lord, art constant night and day.

“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.”Isaiah 40:8 

The hearts of men are swift to chase the wind,
Yet turn again when mercy speaks within.
Thy statutes are the lamp unto our feet,
Thy truth alone makes wandering souls complete.

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”Psalm 119:105 

 This poem is more than a reflection—it is a declaration of holy defiance against the fleeting nature of the world. In a time where confusion reigns, where voices clamor for attention and truth feels negotiable, we cling to the sacred assurance that God’s Word is unchanging, undiluted, and undefeatable.

As Christians, this isn’t just poetry for the soul; it is a blueprint for spiritual survival. When culture shifts like sand beneath our feet, we stand where the saints of old have stood—on the unshakable ground of divine revelation. The Word of God is not a relic of the past but the living breath of a King whose reign knows no end.

We are called not merely to admire His Word from a distance but to inhabit it, to eat it like daily bread, to wield it like a sword, and to hide it deep within so that when darkness comes, we walk in light. The world will pass, our own strength will falter, but the voice of the Shepherd will never fade. His truth abideth still.

And so, this poem becomes a banner for the faithful: Let every soul that seeks the LORD stand strong, not by feeling or fortune, but by the fierce, unchanging flame Of the Word that cannot die.

For in that Word is life, and in that life is victory. Victory in the name of Christ!

O LORD Most High, We thank Thee that Thy Word endureth forever. When the days grow dark and our strength doth fail, Thy truth remaineth our refuge and song. Plant Thy precepts deep within us, that we may walk uprightly and love Thee with a whole heart. May our lives speak of Thy glory until earth shall fade and heaven open wide. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
