Unchanging

Life fails sometimes, you know? Your cell phone battery doesn't charge like it used to. You don't get as good a grade as you wanted on your test. Your boss doesn't appreciate your hard work, no matter how good a job you do. Your friends move away. Someone you know miscarries or their child dies. Friends and family get cancer.

Life changes all the time, and the things we enjoy and take so much comfort in are taken from us. People promise they'll do something for you, and they don't. You have dreams for the next year, and they just don't happen.

It can be overwhelming. It's sure been for me lately.

While out at Whataburger tonight, I was listening to my Chris Tomlin CD and came across the song I needed to hear, reminding me of truths I'm so apt to forget. God's promises don't change. He delights to set His love upon us. I won't wake up tomorrow and read a promise that won't come true in Christ.

Life changes. Life fails. God never changes (James 1:17). God never fails (Lamentations 3:22).

Unchanging by Chris Tomlin

Great is Your faithfulness.
Great is Your faithfulness.
You never change,
You never fail, O God.

True are Your promises.
True are Your promises.
You never change,
You never fail, O God.

So we raise up holy hands
To praise the Holy One
Who was and is and is to come.

Wide is Your love and grace.
Wide is Your love and grace.
You never change,
You never fail, O God.

You were, You are,
You will always be.
