OUR PERSONAL PROMISES

James 1:17

“ Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”

2 Corinthians 1:20

“For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.”

Numbers 23:19

“God is not a man, that He should lie,  nor a son of man, that He should repent.

Has He said, and will He not do?  Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?”

Isaiah 40:8

“The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.”

Hebrews 13:8

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

1 Thessalonians 5:24

“He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.”

We have a few days left in the book   “100 NAMES OF GOD”  written by Christopher D. Hudson.  Each day we’ll take one Hebrew name for God as given in the Bible to study and relate to.  Then we’ll be changing to another book.

LO SHANAH

UNCHANGING

Malachi 3:6

“I, the Lord do not change.  So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.”

It seems that nothing in this world is safe from change.  Most brands we loved as kids look different today ~ if they even exist anymore.  Famous hamburger chains now offer salads.  Cable companies now offer telephone service.

We grow taller ~ and then wider.   Our hair turns gray ~ or falls out.  Our athletic abilities and mental faculties slip away.  Those six-pack abs morph into a spare tire.  We get wrinkles.  Our teeth fall out.  Even our most treasured relationships change.  Best friends get transferred.  Our kids grow up and move away.

The fact remains that everything changes ~ everything except for God.  Only God is unchanging.  God does not rebrand.  He does not evolve.  He does not grow old and fall apart.  He does not move away.  He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

When everything in our lives is so unstable, it gives us great comfort to know that God won’t change.  He is the same today as He was at creation.  What security that provides!

How does the fact of God’s unchanging nature give you confidence and security in a world that is full of change?

PRAYER

Lo Shanah, I praise You that You are the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Thank You for being my constant security and foundation.  Amen
