Jeremiah 23:29 ” Is not My Word like fire, declares the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?”

The Word of God is infallible…unerring, certain & sure…and because of that comes its inevitable effects on man’s opinions. Charles Spurgeon once wrote, “The Word of God is the anvil upon which the opinions of men are smashed.” The word picture here is of a Blacksmith using his heavy iron anvil & a large hammer to bend and completely conform a piece of metal into an entirely different shape. Our opinions are just that…feelings, notions, and sentiments that many times have nothing to do with what is true, but merely emotions that are far from God’s Word. Therefore, if you line up man’s opinions against God’s Word…His Word will win every time.
