Please be respectful ~ do all things for the Glory of God
Thank you for your insightful reflections on God’s unchanging nature, particularly with your reference to Numbers 23:19: “God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind.” This verse powerfully underscores the steadfastness of God, reminding us that in a world that constantly changes, we can place our trust in His immovable promises.
Another verse that speaks to this truth is James 1:17: “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” This verse emphasizes God’s consistency and His unwavering nature in providing for His people. In the midst of a world full of uncertainty, we are assured that God remains the same, bringing stability and confidence to our faith.
In practical terms, embracing the unchanging nature of God allows us to face life's challenges with a sense of peace and assurance. It helps us navigate uncertainty by relying on God's consistent faithfulness, knowing that His promises are reliable. One practical way to draw from His promises is through daily Scripture meditation and prayer, cultivating a deep-rooted trust in His unwavering goodness and truth.
As for your question, “How can we continue to draw from the unshakable foundation of His promises?” I believe that engaging in community worship, whether in person or virtually, and sharing testimonies of God's faithfulness are powerful ways to keep our trust in Him. Reflecting on past moments of His provision reminds us of His unchanging love. How have you seen your congregation strengthen its trust in God’s promises, particularly during times of difficulty?
Have a Blessed Day,
Pastor Bill
