APRIL VERSE

Malachi 3:6
I am the LORD, I do not change.
The rest of the verse goes on to say " Therefore you are not consumed O sons of Jacob." The Lord was telling the children of Israel - you have been disobedient. You have rebelled. Yet I have not changed my promises to your fathers. I am the LORD- I do not change.

When things are bad, He is still the same God who says nothing will snatch you from My hands. The same God who collects our tears in a bottle. The same God who has said I will never leave you or forsake you; I have your name engraved on my hands. The same Christ who makes constant intercession for us before the very throne of the Most High God. When things are awesome, He has not changed. He still requires obedience and faith. He is still a jealous God who will tolerate no other gods before Him. He is the same God who has plans and a purpose for your life. The same God who calls us to sevanthood and to store up our treasures in heaven and not here. Either case, He is the same God who sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to save you and to save me. And He is the same God that called that only begotten Son out from the grave and is seated with Him in the heavenlies. He is the same God who has defeated death, who is waiting on His bride and who sent the Holy Spirit to comfort and guide us through all the seasons of our lives.

Whatever is going on with you this month, keep this verse close to your heart. He is the same yesterday, today and forever, and this is what He says about Himself-

I am the LORD, I do not change.

Happy Easter!

It is so easy to let some things roll off your back without considering the depth of what they really mean. This verse is one I have often just regarded with a passing, "Oh I know that" But when you consider how many times people let us down by not keeping their word or changing their mind, what amazing comfort in a God that is ALWAYS the same!! Praise God! Times have changed and the way people deliver the Gospel has changed; but God has remained the same God!! Wow!
