God is Immutable - Unchanging

Day 9 of 30 Days of Praying the Names and Attributes of God

Of old You founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. Even they will perish, but You endure; And all of them will wear out like a garment; Like clothing You will change them and they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end. Psalms 102:25-27  

God is forever and unchanging. All that He is, He has always been, and will always be. He is perfect, unchanging. We humans are so unlike God physically. We change from year to year, month to month, even from day to day. Our bodies age, muscles start to sag, and eyes grow dim, but we do gain wisdom, if we are careful and attentive to what we allow into our thoughts and minds. With that change in wisdom, we change emotionally and, hopefully, we mature spiritually, too. Eventually our bodies will wear out—or we’ll meet with some timely or untimely demise—and our lives will end. God will call us home. But God Himself will never die—He is eternal. That same eternal spiritual dimension is what He offers us when we believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, as our Savior. We will take up the yoke here on earth—and in heaven we will live forever. Forever. Forever is a long, long time. Are you ready for that?

RSVP: As the unchanging God, Jesus is offering us an invitation to a forever banquet with Him and our Heaven Father. What is your response to that today? What is on your plate?

Prayer~ Dear God, I declare that You are the great I Am. There is no god besides You; It is You who put to death and give life. You have wounded and it is You who heal, and there is no one who can deliver from Your hand. Indeed, I lift up my hands to heaven, and say, Lord God, You will live forever…. Deuteronomy 32:39-40
