Unchangeable

Everything seems to change in our lives. I am no longer the same person that I was 10, 20, 30 or more years ago. My body is weaker and my appearance is different. I don’t have the physical abilities and stamina that I once had. Mentally I may not be as quick, but I sure have a lot more knowledge and wisdom. I trust that I have matured somewhat emotionally. We don’t live where we once did, so our friends have changed.

Some changes have benefitted me and others have slowed me down. Despite the changes in our lives, we all try to hold onto some things. It could be a routine that we like and can keep no matter where we go. We try to stay in contact with friends and family. We may enjoy the same activities. We need these things to stabilize our lives and keep us connected to our inner selves.

Along those lines it is good to remain connected to a higher power that we can count on. God is trustworthy, in part, because He is always faithful to His nature and His Word. He doesn’t change His character or His mind. Hebrews 6:17-18 says, “So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.”

God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He never changes. His Word and His promises have always been true and always will be true. Our God is worthy of our trust. Hope in Jesus is a strong and secure anchor for our souls.
