From Pastor's Heart
GOD NEVER CHANGES
In the midst of all the uncertainty in the world, Christians have that blessed assurance that there is One who remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. Be encouraged by an excerpt from the devotion below.

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17, KJV
In a chaotic world that is constantly changing, nothing can be more comforting than to know there is a God who never changes and to have a secure relationship with Him…
There is one, however, who never changes, and that thought both blesses and terrifies. The Bible tells us that God is unchanging. If you are God’s child, that thought should bring great comfort to your heart.
No one in his right mind would deny the fact that our generation has seen more changes in a given period of time than any other generation in all history. Ask your grandfather about his world growing up, about the medicines which were prescribed in his childhood, about the length of time it took to go somewhere or do something…
God Himself said, “I am the LORD; I change not” (Malachi 3:6). The Bible says He is the Father of lights with whom there is no change or variation (James 1:17). This means God will never be less than He is now, or ever be different from what He has already revealed Himself to be in the past. His essential being (we call those characteristics attributes) are always the same. This includes the fact that He is without beginning or end. He is not only unchanging, but is just, all-knowing, all-powerful, ever present, holy, faithful and loving. God is also unchanging in His faithfulness to us, in His wisdom and in His counsel.
In an old song, seldom heard today, written by Thomas Chisholm, there is a line which goes, “Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not; as thou hast been thou forever wilt be.”
As A. W. Tozer wrote, “God never changes moods or cools off in His affections or loses enthusiasm. His attitude toward sin is now the same as it was when He drove out the sinful man from the eastward garden, and His attitude toward the sinner the same as when He stretched forth His hand and cried, ‘Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest’” (A. W. Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy, p. 60).
