One Who Never Changes

"Change is never easy, you fight to hold on, and you fight to let go."

You might be familiar with the saying: "Nothing ever stays the same. Everything changes." This is a true fact. Our ages change; seasons change; neighbors change; governments change; even our own families change right before our eyes.

Although most change is good, some things in life might change for the worse. For example: job or employment situations; our health; relationships and finances. Some changes can have devasting effects on us, such as the death of a spouse, or child. For better or worse, whenever change occurs it leaves its mark on all of us.

Even the mightiest mountains and the deepest depths of the oceans change across the slow march of time. It appears that nothing on earth or in the heavens is immune to change. No matter how hard we wish, pray, scream, or drag our feet, things will change. It's true, they might be postponed for a bit, but eventually change will come in some way, shape or form.

However, there is One who never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:8). He is eternally constant. He was, is, and shall be. He is the alpha and the omega; the beginning and the end; the first and the last (Revelation 1:8, 22:13). He is God.

Change is a natural occurance. It's another part of life that happens to everyone, whether we like it or not. In the midst of all of this change, however, is One who remains constant, steadfast, and immutable.

Malachi 3:6 tells us, "For I am the LORD, I do not change…" In a world that is constantly changing, it's very comforting and secure to know that God is "changeless." I know that I can count on Him to be faithful, loyal, and certain no matter whatever else might be going on in my life. And so can you!

Scripture: Psalm 33:11; Psalm 41:13; Psalm 90:2-4; John 17:5; 2 Timothy 1:9

Prayer: Dear God, You are the only constant in my life. You are like a beacon of light in the darkness. No matter where I go, or what I do; You are always there for me, unchanging and eternal. Amen

Have a blessed day!
