Thoughts For Today

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).   Jesus is always ready and waiting to support our faith when we prove Him through His Word.  He will sustain His promises and reward our faith.  James 1:17 states, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, what are these gifts that come down from our heavenly Father?  Romans 14:17 tell us, “The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.”  Psalm 84:11 confirms, “…the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory; no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.”  God is unchangeable.  He always keeps His promises.  Rest in the promises of God; yet pursue Him aggressively to build faith.  Numbers 23:19-20 says, “God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should repent, has He said and will He not do?  Or has He spoken and will He not make it good?  Behold I have received a command to bless; He has blessed, and I cannot reverse it.”  When we trust in God we learn that:
 He is immutable.
 He never changes.
 His character remains the same.
 He always does what He says He will do.

Hebrews 1:12 declare that Christ is the immutable one.  “…You are the same and your years will not fail.”   In Psalm 102:27-28 we are assured that Christ remains the same and promises, “But You are the same and Your years will have no end, the children of Your servants will continue, and their descendents will be established before You.” Christ is the fulfillment of all the promises of God.  “For all of the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us” (2 Corinthians 1:20).  Though the things of this world are constantly changing, we have a changeless and matchless King who is standing on His immutable promise to bless us.  Remember, His promises and His Word are the same yesterday, today and forever.
