God Is...Immutable

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever."
                            -Hebrews 13:8 

Few of God's attributes are of more comfort to us than His immutability. He has never, and will never, change. This means that the same promises He made thousands of years ago are just as applicable to us today as they were the day they were spoken. We have no reason to worry that He may "change His mind", because God's mind is not subject to change concerning those things.

"For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed."
                            -Malachi 3:6

Times may change, people may change, but our God will never change. If He was faithful yesterday, He will be faithful today; and if He is faithful today, He will also be faithful tomorrow. Unlike many of us, His faithfulness is not affected by varying circumstances. If it's written in the Bible, we can stand on it though all hell assail us.

For all eternity past, God has remained the same. Why would we expect Him to change now?

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"
                            -Numbers 23:19

That's so awesome if you really think about it. Whatever "mood" we feel in throughout our day usually depends upon our circumstances. Yet God doesn't change. He doesn't have "good days" and "bad days." He never wakes up on the wrong side of the bed. Praise God that He is who He is!

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.'"
