Scripture Reading: Numbers 23:19, Psalm 102:25-28, Job 23:8-14, Malachi 3:1-6, Hebrews 6:13-19, James 1:16-18, Hebrews 13:8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As humans, we speak the language of change. Whether we seek it with ferocity or grimace at the thought of it, change is inevitable. The calendar shifts, the sun rises and sets, our numbered hairs grow gray, and our hearts endure the only constant we know\u2014change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book of Ecclesiastes contains a famous refrain charged with the impatience, discomfort, and hopefulness of our ever-changing lives: \u201cThere is an occasion for everything, and a time for every activity under heaven: a time to give birth and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot\u201d (Ecclesiastes 3:1\u20132).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the way of life on earth being that of change, it\u2019s natural to assume the Creator of it all would be the same\u2014that He would change as much as the seasons that He Himself spins. And yet Scripture calls us to cling to God because He is the only One who never changes. God is unchanging in His being, His character and will are constant, all because He is perfect. Nothing can be added to or taken away from Him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Job, whose life changed in dramatic and painful ways, knew God to always be true to His character. \u201cHe is unchangeable; who can oppose him?\u201d Job asked (Job 23:13). Job staked his hope\u2014his life\u2014on his belief that God will always be who He declares Himself to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything He does is consistent with who He is. God\u2019s characteristics are not altered by time passing or new experiences; He has been, is, and always will be the full expression of each of His attributes. God\u2019s promises are the same, and His ability to keep them will never waver. In Malachi 3, God told His people: \u201cI, the LORD, have not changed…\u201d (Malachi 3:6). God\u2019s immutability means we can count on Him, no matter what.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
