Our Unchanging God

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. -Hebrews 13:8

The Christian knows no change with regard to God. He may be rich to-day, and poor to-morrow; he may be sickly to-day and well to-morrow; he may be in happiness to-day, to-morrow he may be distressed; but there is no change with regard to his relationship to God. If He loved me yesterday He loves me to-day. I am neither better nor worse in God than I ever was. Let prospects be blighted, let hopes be blasted, let joy be withered, let mildews destroy every thing, I have lost nothing of what I have in God. He is my strong habitation whereunto I can continually resort. The Christian never becomes poorer, and never grows richer with regard to God. “Here,” he can say, “is a thing that never can pass away or change.” On the brow of the Eternal there is never a furrow; His hair is unwhitened by age; His arm is unpalsied by weakness; His heart does not change in its affections; His will does not vary in its purpose; He is the immutable Jehovah, standing fast and forever. Thou art our habitation! As the house changes not, but stands in the same place, so have I found Thee from my youth up. When first I was cast upon Thee from my mother’s breast, I found Thee my God of Providence. When first I knew Thee by that spiritual knowledge which Thou alone canst give, I found Thee a sure habitation; and I find Thee such now. Yea, when I shall be old and gray-headed, I know Thou wilt not forsake me; Thou wilt be the same dwelling-place in all generations.”~ C.H. Spurgeon
