Revelation 1:4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come,
Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And he said, “Say this to the people of Israel: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’”
Psalms 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
Psalms 102:25-27 Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end.
Isaiah 41:4 Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.
Hebrews 1:10-13 And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.” And to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”?
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
We all change in some way or another. We make up our minds and then learn something new and we change it. We have a great love for someone and then something happens and we change how we feel about them. We have friends who come into our lives and then for some reason or another, our connection to them changes. We make decisions and say we will stand firm on them and change our stance. We design a home or some other project only to find that we would make changes because of what something we missed. The fact of the matter is that we change and there is variation in what we think and do. Our stance changes, our firmness changes, our commitments change, and our love changes. Do we ever wonder if God is like this? Do we even have a concept of a never-changing God, who was, is, and is to come. The “I AM”. The same yesterday, today, and forever? The One who there is no variation. The first and the last.
We do well to remember our unchanging God and walk worthy of who He is. Our God is never changing. Always loving with outstretched arms. Always offering grace, mercy, and Love. Always wanting us to open the door to our heart to Him. All things are in and of Him alone.
