"I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him."will remain forever" -in contrast to those things which men do. This also applies to what God says (1 Peter 1:23-25). Isn't it strange that finite, earth-bound and imperfect people seek to argue that the Word of God is no longer relevant? Who are we to talk about what is and what isn't of. lasting nature! If anything is temporary or short-lived-it is us and our human opinions!

"nothing to add to it…." -God's plans, unlike ours need no corrections, updates or last minute changes. And yet, what does man assert? Man says that the Bible is filled with errors, we can't trust it, it has been corrupted, etc….But look at who is constantly changing his theories, contradicting his statements in the past, overturning previous "facts", and so on---it is man! The truth of the Bible hasn't been updated, rather it is the Evolutionist and others who have constantly been changing, amending and correcting their theories.

"that men should fear Him" -On the one hand, the unbeliever is. prisoner in. system that he can't break or bend-and there is no escape. But the believer sees the same events and sees in them the faithfulness, dependability, and power of God. "To him verse 14 describes the divine faithfulness which makes the fear of God. fruitful, filial (affectionate) relationship" (Kidner p. 40). Truly,. Being who is able to accomplish His purposes, protect His people and punish the wicked, even with all the change and variation that happens in this life-is to be held in awe and greatly respected.
