Unchanging God
Have you ever been with a person whose convictions changed with the culture? Perhaps they started their Christian walk by believing in Jesus and who He said He was, Lord and Savior. But along the way and through the years they drifted. Christ’s teachings weren’t fresh in their minds. Social friends influenced their thinking. Instead of Jesus being Lord, He became one of many teachers who pointed the way to heaven. Instead of the Bible being the authoritative word of God, it became an outdated book filled with symbolism and not relevant to today’s culture.
The truth is, God, not the culture, is reliable. The Bible is the revelation of His character, which is unchanging as Hebrews 13:8 clearly affirms. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”
What difference does it make for you that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever?
It means that what the Lord called holy yesterday is holy today and will be holy tomorrow. What He called sin yesterday is sin today and is sin tomorrow. And most important, the grace God extended yesterday is the grace He extends today and extends tomorrow.
It means that when cultural debates about moral issues arise, we don’t have to be confused or compromise. We speak the truth in love and stand on the solid foundation of the Word of God, Jesus, and the Bible. We follow and serve an unchanging, immutable God.
Lord Jesus, we praise You, IMMUTABLE, unchanging Lord God!

Will You Trust Your Prayers to God
Are you hurting, struggling, or stressed? Are you concerned for our nation or a concern close to your heart? If so, are you crying out to God? That’s what David did; as recorded in Psalm 86:10, “You are GREAT and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God.” His words to God are not mindlessly spoken. Rather, his words are heart felt and spoken in the midst of his afflictions and needs. When David says, “You are GREAT and do wondrous deeds;” David is professing his trust in God’s GREATNESS. He is looking at the heavens and saying, “You alone are God. I know nothing is too difficult for You. I know You can help, so do it!” Today is the National Day of Prayer. Do you need to affirm your faith in God’s GREATNESS? Do you need to say the words David said? Please join me now in affirming your trust in God’s great power. Join me in praying for our nation to repent of our sins and to return in humble trust of God. Pray now for the needs on your heart. Believe He hears you and walk out your belief with a hopeful heart. He DOES hear you and He loves you so very much.
Heavenly Father, we believe in Your greatness. We know You see us and hear our prayers. Please forgive us for our sins; for ways we have strayed from faithfully loving You, following You, and giving to You while we ask, ask, ask. Show us the way You want us to walk. Increase our hunger to daily study the Bible so we walk in Your will. We love You and ask Your forgiveness.
