Psalm
103:17
But
the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear
him, and his righteousness unto children's children.
Some
people can't understand how the raging, harsh God of the Old Testament can be
the same God of love in the New Testament. Has God really changed? Of course
not. God is the same in all times and in all places. What has changed is men
and women's views of God. It is difficult to make sense of all that God does,
and we all must do our best to understand Him. From the beginning of time until
this day, God is the same.
The righteousness He held forth for the children of
Israel is the same righteousness He holds forth for us today. In a world where
all else changes so quickly, we can find great security in knowing that our
Lord never changes.
Prayer:
Be the anchor in my life, O Lord, so that I might not be tossed around by all
the winds of change in my world. Make my faith constant; remaining true to You.
Amen.
