"For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob."Malachi 3:6
Praise God that He is constant!
Think about our lives. How inconsistent we are. We change our minds from one minute to the next. As a society we believe one thing to be true and then decide on something else. Our emotions change from moment to moment. We are never the same, and our lives are chaotic for it.
I am so grateful that God does not change. He is constant and unwavering. He doesn't change His mind in the middle of an action. He never changes what is true. Can you imagine if He did? We would never be able to trust Him. The bible would be meaningless. We would never know what is right from wrong. We would be so confused.
James 1:17 tells us, “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” Numbers 23:19 says: “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?” No, God does not change His mind. These verses show that God is unchanging and unchangeable. He was, is, and will always be the same.
God never changes Himself so that we can understand Him better. He changes us so that we can see Him as he truly is. If God changed His nature, He would cease to be God.
