Settled
The word “settled” is another word we use for the word “establish.” They are both very strong words of stability.
Here is what the word “settled” means: station, establish, make to stand, make to stand still or upright, best state.
In God’s Word we see that the word “settled” is used mainly to relate to His Word and our faith. In Psalm 119:89 we read that God’s Word is forever settled. It is a forever truth. It is an unalterable truth forever. God’s Word is stable and not subject to changing winds. We are to put no confidence in the world’s words which are unstable, unsettled, subject to change, and in alignment with man’s opinions. God’s Word is eternal and aligned with God Who is the same yesterday, today and forever.
When you are in trouble and when circumstances seem to overtake you, go to the Word of God. What does God have to say about it? When you find out, settle it forever in your heart that is the way it is going to be in your life. It starts with a decision that God’s Word is true for you. 1 Peter 1:25 and Matthew 24:35 tell us that the Word of God endures forever----it will not pass away. When you are holding to God’s Word, it isn’t going anywhere. It is anchored in the Lord Himself, Who is the unchanging one. He said it; that settles it forever.
Then we are told in Colossians 1:23 to continue in the faith, grounded and settled (steadfast) and be not moved away from (be not shifting from) the hope of the gospel. What is the hope of the gospel? It is the white-hot expectancy of the reality of the good news of the Kingdom of God. Jesus has won the battle and satan is defeated and stripped of His power. Jesus gave the power to us as the children of God.
Whatever our circumstances are at the present time, whether they are good or bad, Jesus has given us the power to overcome in this world. It may not always be pleasant to encounter tough times, but it is glorious to know that we have been given God’s ability to overcome and be victorious. We must not back down from our trust in God. He is the One with the answers.
Settle it in your hearts today that Jesus is the One Who will carry you through to the other side. That is not just fancy talk. That is reality. I know because I have been there many times. It may not always seem like it will work this time, but it always does. The Word will work for you every time. You are a victorious child of God.
YOU ARE ESTABLISHED AND SETTLED IN GOD AND HIS WORD FOREVER!
