Never changing

I'm listening to a cool cd. You may not like it. It doesn't rock hard, it's not rap. It's a worship CD....a really really good one though. It's Tim Hughes who is the guy who wrote Here I am to Worship.....but that was his first cd....i'm listening to his second...

ANYWAY....the song I'm listening to is talking about how God is good to us and he is unchanging. I like that word. Unchanging. That's hard for our puny human brains to wrap around I think.

Here on earth everything is changing....at least a little. Plants die. Trees fall over. Clouds move and change shape. When you fly a kite, one minute you have a breeze the next minute it's gone. People disappoint us because they change their minds. People die. Even rocks wear.

Have you ever seen a rock that's been in a stream for a long time? I'm not talking about the smooth ones....those are a dime a dozen. I'm talking about the ones that are like rippley because the flow of water has to go over them a certain way. That's cool. But they weren't always like that. At one point they were big and round or pointy or something. But over time they wear.

Everything changes. God is unchanging. Before time began He was. When everything is gone, He will still be. Before the beginning of time, He loved me. He loved you. He knew who we would be. His love has wavered for one minute....for one second in all that time. How many time has someone let you down? How many times have you been disappointed by someone? Maybe not even intentionally. I try as best I can to be the best husband that my wife could ever ask for....but the fact of the matter is that I'm just a silly man. I make mistakes and I make her angry or sad or whatever from time to time.

Throughout history we have turned our back on God. And yet when we realize how dumb that is, and we come back to Him, He welcomes us with open arms.

Unchanging. WOW UNCHANGING!
