God, I am looking out the window into the sky and see clouds
moving across the panorama. Megan told
me that the clouds are constantly changing shape because the dust and moisture
rise and fall. Even the heavens change,
but You remain the same. Your love, Your
grace, Your mercy, Your forgiveness, Your promises, Your faithfulness, Your
justice – none of these changes. You do
not veer. Your promises do not
rust. Your justice never erodes. Your forgiveness never scrapes bottom. God thank You so much for not only Your eternality,
but Your consistency, Your immutability.
What if You did change? I could
not cling to Your promises. My hope in You would waver. Even the very
existence, the air I breathe, would be tentative. What if the earth titled away from the
sun? What if you no longer graciously
forgave sin by the blood of Jesus? You
would not be God. There would be none to
worship. Life’s meaning would
vanish. Hope would become myth. Thank You, God, for not changing at all for
any reason across all time.
