This verse is a threatening so far as the worldly wise are concerned,
but to the simple believer it is a promise.
The professedly learned are
forever trying to bring to nothing the faith of the humble believer,
but they fail in their attempts.
Their arguments break down, their
theories fall under their own weight, their deep-laid plots discover
themselves before their purpose is accomplished.
The old gospel is not
extinct yet, nor will it be while the LORD liveth.
If it could have been
exterminated, it would have perished from off the earth long ago.
We
cannot destroy the wisdom of the wise, nor need we attempt it, for the
work is in far better hands.
The LORD Himself says, "I will," and He
never resolves in vain.
Twice does He in this verse declare His purpose,
and we may rest assured that He will not turn aside from it.
What clean
work the LORD makes of philosophy and "modern thought" when He puts His
hand to it!
He brings the fine appearance down to nothing;
He utterly
destroys the wood, hay, and stubble.
It is written that so it shall be,
and so shall it be. LORD, make short work of it.
Amen, and amen.
~Charles Spurgeon~
