The only constant in a changing world
James 1:17 Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.
God is the only constant in a changing world. In other words, in this world, all things are liable and susceptible to change, except God, who is constant; He's the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He never changes! Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever .
Malachi 3:6 6 “I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed.
Our physical bodies may change, we may grow taller, get burnt, lose our hair, gain weight ,et cetera, but God remains the same. Our feelings may change; our moods may swing; our friends may desert us, and behave differently towards us. People we have trusted may betray us, or worse still our health or economic situation may change and affect us adversely. Nothing is guaranteed in this life, everything is fleeting!
However, in the midst of a changing world, we can be anchored by an unchanging God. His Word is unchanging - “Forever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in heaven.” Psalm 119:89. His love for us is unconditional and unfailing - Psalm 33:5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. God is forever faithful - 2 Timothy 2:13 If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny who he is.God will never grow stronger or weaker, neither will His knowledge and wisdom increase or decrease - He is everlasting: Isaiah 40:28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.
Trust in this unchanging God. He shall guide you through the changing scenes of life, and strengthen you when change overwhelms you, and every grasp at hope seems bleak.
