Reflections: On GOD’s Immutability and You

The Westminster Shorter Catechism says, "God is a spirit, whose being, wisdom power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth are infinite, eternal, and unchangeable" and several Scriptures confirm this.  

I am the Lord, and I do not change… Malachi 3:6

If we are unfaithful, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny who He is. 2 Timothy 2:13

Likewise, all that GOD declares concerning His chosen people remain fixed.

 

This means that God will always:

Be with you

• “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?” Hebrews 13:5-6
• Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. Isaiah 41:10a

Love you

• For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39
• For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him. Psalm 103:11 

Forgive your sins

• If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
• As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:12

Listen to you

• For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers. 1 Peter 3:12
• I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears. Psalm 18:6
• Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. Jeremiah 29:12

Answer your prayers

• For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. Luke 11:10
• I love the Lord because He has heard My voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live. Psalm 116:1-2

Comfort you

• Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation. 2 Corinthians 1:3
• Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4

Provide for you

• If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! Matthew 7:11
• For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly. Psalm 84:11
• "I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” Jeremiah 32:26

Remember you

• The LORD loves justice, and he won't ever desert his faithful people. He always protects them. Psalm 37:28
• I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his descendants begging bread. Psalm 37:25

Work on your behalf

• When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; This I know, because God is for me. Psalm 56:9
• We know that God is always at work for the good of everyone who loves him. Romans 8:28a

Come through for you

• Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’ Isaiah 41:10
• And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 1 Peter: 5:10

Lead you with love, power, and wisdom

• I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble. Proverbs 4:11-12
• It is God who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer,
• And sets me on my high places. Psalm 18:32-33

 

Reward your obedience to Him

• The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them my salvation.” Psalm 91:14-16
• Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12

In all this and so much more, you may rest easy. When you wait on the Lord, you can be certain that the outcome will be perfect, as is His will for you.

Always!

 

But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31

 

Prayer: Our Father in heaven, Immutable and Sovereign One, You are always faithful to Your promises as You cannot deny Yourself. You choose us, thank You. And now Your ears are always open to listen to us and Your eyes forever upon us to protect and defend us, Your children who worship You and do Your will. May Your Name forever be praised, In JESUS mighty Name. Amen!
