He Never Changes

Read: Psalm 103:11-22

You, O LORD, shall endure forever, and the remembrance of Your name to all generations. --- Psalm 102:12

The Bible In One Year:
Leviticus 25
Mark 1:23-45

Photographer David Crocket of Seattle's KOMO-TV knows that solid mountains can move. On May 18, 1980, he was nearly buried by the falling debris. As the atmosphere cleared, a helicopter pilot spotted him. He was dramatically rescued and flown to a hospital.

Writing about his horrendous experience, he said, "During those 10 hours I saw a mountain fall apart. I saw a forest disappear....I saw that God is the only one who is immovable....I feel somehow that I'm being allowed to start over --- whatever is in His master plan for me."

Nothing in our world, not even a mountain, is absolutely indestructible. God alone is absolutely unchangeable --- He endures "forever" [Ps. 102:12]. He "has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all" [103:19].

When we trust ourselves to God's keeping, we are forever secure. He removes our sins from us "as far as the east is from the west" [103:12]. And His mercy toward us is "from everlasting to everlasting" [v.17]. He holds us in His almighty hands, and nothing can pry us loose from that omnipotent grip [John 10:28-29]. --- Vernon Grounds

I do not rest on shifting sand,
Or fear the storm that rages;
For calm and sure, I stand secure
Upon the Rock of Ages. --- Anon.


OUR WORLD MAY CRUMBLE AROUND US, BUT GOD NEVER CHANGES.
