James 1:17 ESV
“…the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”

It’s always reassuring that God does not change. What He required 2000 years ago He requires right now, but people are not God. Some may be godly people but they are still human, they do change.

Honestly so many people have a moving goal posts when it comes to emotions, standards and attitudes. You never know what to expect each time you encounter them. So how do people, who do change, embrace a Holy God?

We have to change to be who He wants us to be, we have to change our thoughts and ideals to line with His. He shows us plainly in His word what He expects of us. He wants us to obey and he has set up rewards if we obey and He has set up consequences if we do not obey.

He wants us to know His perfect will. He wants us to be the salt and light to the world. He wants us to read, know and understand His word and He wants us to receive His Son as Savior and Lord, this is not an option but a requirement.

We change daily, weekly, monthly and yearly, it takes a lot of work to NOT conform to this world and to transform into His likeness. God doesn’t change but we have to change to conform to His will.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for being the same forever. Help me to change to conform to Your will!
