Coffee Break - It's Changing

"It's Changing"

"For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Malachi 3:6


Who would have ever dreamed a few months ago that we as a nation, and the whole world, would be facing the things we are facing today.   Because of this virus we are facing health issues, economic troubles, isolation from our families, friends and churches.  Sports events, entertainment events, as well as schools have been canceled.  Businesses and travel to other nations have been shut down.  Food and other necessities have become in short supply.  But that isn't the bottom-line.  Everything at this point in our nation is subject to change.  You don't know what new development you may wake up to in the morning.  "The times they are a changing".

There is an endless list of things that have changed that I haven't even already named.  But amidst all the change and all the uncertainty about tomorrow and the future, there is one thing we can rest assured of-- The Lord does not change.  He is the same today as He was yesterday.  He will be the same tomorrow as He was today.  

So, when we say the Lord hasn't changed, what do we mean?  He hasn't changed in power.  He is still able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or think.  His power does not diminish with time.  He hasn't changed in His love.  He loved us while we were  sinners, and He loves us still today.  He hasn't changed in His faithfulness.  He is faithful to a thousand generations.  He hasn't changed in His ability to work all things together for good.  He hasn't changed in the fact that He still judges sin and at the same time is still more willing to show mercy.  He hasn't changed in His promise to never leave you nor forsake you.  He hasn't changed in His ability to answer prayer.  There is so much more about Him that hasn't changed-- too much to write.  But the one thing that we can count on for sure is-- He is still your answer.  He has always been the answer to all of life's problems and He still is today-- that will NEVER change.

Have a great day.  Things are changing daily-- all except the Lord God.
