An Unchanging God {Thankful Thursdays}

I don’t know about you, but I don’t like change. I like the security of my comfort zone because most of time it's Unchanging. That comfort zone is like my favorite fuzzy blanket I use during the winter - comfortable, safe, and secure. I was reminded of this, this week while dealing with our internet company and their new “state of the art” services that will be provided in the near future. My husband pointed out to them those wonderful new changes are in fact regressing to the early days of DSL services for other parts of the country, but that’s life living in the middle of nowhere.

I couldn’t help but think how things in life may change, our God doesn’t. We serve an Unchanging God.

We Serve An Unchanging God

It’s reassuring to know the same God that David and Daniel prayed to, I pray to Him also. The same God, who directed Noah, protected Jonah, prepared Moses, and guided Joseph. He is the same today as He was the day He hung the stars in the sky. (Psalms 102:25-27)

It’s a comfort to know the God I serve is the same God who promised Adam and Eve while in the Garden of Eden to send a sacrificial Lamb. He’s the same God who sent his Son to be born for a purpose – to die on the cross and to be raised from the dead for our sins. (Genesis 3:15)

I have hope in knowing the promise of peace and the return of Jesus that was given to his disciples, is the same Jesus I sing about when the words Jesus Loves Me passes across my tongue. (John 14:1-4)

While uncomfortable changes are made every day in our lives, there is ONE who does not change. I’m thankful I serve an unchanging God.

Time is filled with swift transition,
Naught of earth unmoved can stand,
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
