“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” (Malachi 3:6 KJV)
Change is a part of man's character. We have a real hard time being consistent and steady about things in life. We can be sure that:
1. There will be changes in technology. The hot items in electronics today will be archaic and old fashioned in just a little while.
2. There will be medical changes. Things that were once impossible are now routine, and what used to take weeks or months to heal is now considered "outpatient."
3. There will be moral changes. Some in my congregation were shocked not long ago when I stated that if America was going to give legal status to sodomites and allow gay marriages, it would not be long until bestiality would follow. Sure enough, one of my men reported that a woman was seeking permission from a court to marry her dog (oh, yuk!).
4. Fashion always changes. What is popular today will be out of mode before the end of 2008.
5. Religion changes almost as much as fashion. False religion and perversion of truth surface all the time, mostly because preachers today are tossed about with every wind of doctrine that comes along and they are too double-minded.
6. And of course, there will be political changes. This year a new president will be elected in the U.S. Most all the candidates are calling for "change" within their respective parties.
Praise God! Jesus Christ never changes!
“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)
We can always count on His dependability.
“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”
(Numbers 23:19 KJV)
Happy New Year to all. May God prosper you well this new year because I may need to borrow some money. :-)
