The Unchangeable God

When they went, they went upon their four sides: and they turned not when they went. -Ezekiel 1:17

The prophet saw the wheels, and he well says, they turned not when they went, they always went straight forward; they never turned to the right or to the left. Such is God’s Providence. Man marks out plans: he says, I shall build this tower; he gets it halfway up, and he finds he has not enough to finish it with; he has to pull it down, lay a smaller foundation, and build again. God never does so; He has a plan when He begins, and He carries that plan out: He lays the foundation, and always finishes the topstone. There are some who talk about God’s changing His purpose; such people do not know what God is at all. How could God change? God must either change from a better to a worse, or from a worse to a better. If He change from a worse to a better, He is not perfect now; and if He change from what He is to something worse, He will not be perfect then, and He will not be God. He cannot change. It is not possible that God should ever change or shift in any of His purposes. Can He change because He has not power? Why, sirs, He could girdle this globe with mountains, or move the hills into the sea. Can He change because He has not patience enough? What, He who from His purpose never swerves? Shall He change because He has made a mistake? Shall the Most High, Jehovah, ever have an error in His mighty mind? To err is human. With the divine Being the whole goes on, and what He has ordained shall be. On the iron rock of destiny it is written, and it cannot be altered. God moves the wheel, and the wheel goes on; and though a thousand armies stand to stop it, it goes on still. “They turned not to the right hand nor to the left when they went.”~ C.H. Spurgeon

  3. Amen I agree I prayed and begged that God would have Mercy on them and open their eyes. I have warned them in the past about Harry Potter and they don’t listen. I guess we will see at the Rapture if they went up with us.it’s from my own household. Thank for pray my friend and blessing to you too.
