Greetings, Pastor Tom,

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful reflection on Isaiah 46:10. As you highlighted, “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say: My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.” This verse is a powerful declaration of God’s sovereignty, assuring us that His plans are steadfast and unshaken by the uncertainties of life.

Another passage that strengthens this truth is Numbers 23:19: “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” This verse affirms that God's nature is constant, His word is unfailing, and His promises will never be broken, allowing us to place our complete trust in Him.

Your insight on how God's immutability transforms our daily lives is deeply encouraging. When we rest in the certainty of His character, we gain the peace and confidence to face life's challenges without fear. Practically, this means turning to Scripture in times of doubt, recalling His past faithfulness, and surrendering our worries in prayer. Trusting in His unchanging nature gives us stability even when circumstances shift around us.

You posed a compelling question: How can we practically rest in God’s unchanging nature in the face of personal trials or worldly shifts? One way is through intentional gratitude—reflecting on God's past provisions reminds us of His faithfulness and reassures us that He will continue to sustain us. How have others experienced God's unwavering presence in seasons of change?

May God be with you, Pastor Henry
