Today God says:
"I never change".
He promises me:
"For I am the Lord, I change not". (Mal. 3:6)
My response to the word:
Someone once said, "The only thing that is truly constant is change". I live in a changing world. Values and behaviour seemingly change almost overnight. Circumstances in my daily life change constantly. The thing that gives me stability in such a changing environment is the knowledge that God and His Word never change. The Word of God is the anchor of my soul even when the winds and storms swirl around me.
My prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for your eternal nature which never changes, and for your Word which abides forever. I cling to you and I take my stand upon your Word, and this gives me security every minute of the day.
Today's scriptures:
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever". (Heb. 13:8 GW) "The Father doesn't change like the shifting shadows produced by the sun and the moon". (James 1:17 GW) "One day with the Lord is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day. The Lord isn't slow to do what He promised, as some people think. Rather, He is patient for your sake. He doesn't want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to Him and change the way they think and act". (2 Peter 3:8,9 GW)
Quote for today:
I hold one sentence out of God's Word to be of more certainty and of more power than all the discoveries of all the learned men of all the ages. (Charles Spurgeon)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
