Differences


God will show his mercy forever and ever to those who worship and serve him.

Luke 1:50 (NCV)


But I have hope when I think of this: The Lord’s love never ends; his mercies never stop.

Lamentations 3:21 (NCV)


Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV)


Several months ago, I did something I totally hate. I said one thing and then did another. In less than fifteen minutes, I reversed course and did the opposite of what I said I would do. ARRGGHH! My wife, it turns out, was greatly disappointed by my flip flop—and rightly so!

How thankful I am our God is not like this. He never changes. Like a mighty river, His love continues to flow in abundance and His mercies, His sweet mercies, never cease.

Our greatest blessing, I believe, is our God who is so different from us, who loves us unswervingly—and He never changes.


Father, Your love is like an ocean! Your character is beyond reproach. Help me see this and each day, more and more, become more like You. Amen.
