God Never Changes

 

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning...

 

Lamentations 3:22-23

 

 

God doesn't change.

 

We change all the time—for good or bad.

 

He never does.

 

Life is charging full speed ahead into another season, another adventure in this journey called life, and another set of changes. In the face of an ever uncertain future and journal pages yet-to-be-filled, it comforting to remember God never changes.

 

No matter what happens, God's promises remain and will be fulfilled as long as we walk in obedience by faith.

 

What if we feel like we have blown it by walking in the flesh of sinfulness?

 

What if we fear, in our heart of hearts, that God will give up on us?

 

Listen to what Charles Spurgeon had to say on the subject: "Think not, O poor downcast child of God, because the scars of thine old sins have marred thy beauty, that He loves thee less because of that blemish. O no! He loved thee when He foreknew thy sin; He loved thee with the knowledge of what the aggregate of thy wickedness would be; and He does not love thee less now."

 

Our God who is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow will not forget His own, but we still need to make a conscience effort to walk by the Spirit and not by the flesh, as this is walking in obedience of all that we are called to from the Word of God.
