Malachi 3:6 - "For I the Lord do not change."
James 1:17b - "The Father of lights with whom there is not variation of shadow due to change."
God never changes. He is "immutable." We humans are always changing. Our bodies change. Our financial situations change. Our emotions and sense of contentment certainly change. Technology seems to change every week. As soon as a new phone comes out it is obsolete. (My iphone wants to update about once a month.) Yes, change is inevitable in this world.
It should be a source of comfort to us that our God is always the same. He is always loving and full of mercy. We can always count on him to meet our needs, to give wisdom and direction, and to keep his promises. God knows the past, the present, and even the future.
It is amazing how accurate the word of God is. One example is from the book of Daniel. It was written around the sixth century BC, or more than five hundred years before the birth of Christ. Yet it so accurately predicts events more than four hundred years into the future that critics want to say it is a book of history. Only God could write history before it happens. This is the kind of God we serve. A good who knows the end from the beginning. And the most awesome part is that he cares about each of us. There is no need to worry today. Our God is an unchanging rock in whom we can trust.
God never changes!
