"But Thou Art The Same...." ~ Psalm 102:27a

Over years people change. You and I change. We can change for the good or for the bad. We can grow more sweet or become more bitter with time. Time plays a important part in our change. Time causes us to grow older physically and mentally. Circumstances tend to change us. People tend to change us. Sin changes us. We are a constantly changing people. Here are some Things about our Unchanging God. God is not bound by Time. Time can not change Him. Circumstances do not change God. There has never been a circumstance that has taken God by surprise. People cannot and do not ever change God. God is without sin. Sin can never change God. God is always the same. He was the same since before the beginning of time and He will be the same beyond the end of time. So Why Does It Matter That God Never Changes? 1. Friends and even Family come and Go but God Never Leaves us. "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee." ~ Deuteronomy 31:6. 2. There is not one person that is good all the time and yet God is always Good. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." ~ Jeremiah 29:11. 3. People make promises and break them. There has never been a promise that God has relinquished on. PROMISES SUCH AS: * "Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us," ~ Ephesians 3:20. * "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24. I can't help but think of that Hymn Every Promise In The Book Is Mine. Just stop and reflect on the goodness of God today. Lift praise up to Him for being a wonderful God that is always the Same!

Thanks for the encouragment, often I get bogged down with circumstances, but need the reminder that God is in control.
