For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are
not consumed. –
Malachi 3.6
While Malachi has a lot of statements about the state
of the people, it has several wonderful things to say about God. I think one of
the greatest blessing of the attributes of God is His immutability – His unchangeableness
– the fact that He does not change.
Why is this such a big deal? It means the God I serve
today is the exact same God who said ‘let there be light’ and then there was
light. He is the same God who parted the Red Sea. He is the same God who fed
5000 from a boy’s lunch. He is the same God who healed the sick and made the
lame whole and raised the dead. He is the same God who has provided for and
cared to me all my life. He is the same God who has carried me through every
trial of life. He is the Lord. He does not change. Jesus is the same yesterday,
and today, and forever.
Since that is the case how can I fear the present or the
future? Is He all of a sudden going to fail me?
No, He is the Lord. He will not change. I can trust Him
to care for me today and in the future just like He has cared for me all along.
