Daily devotion – a sure foundation
We are such fickle creatures or perhaps I should just say that of myself. When the hot days of summer were with us I thought how nice it would be for the winter days to hurry along. To see some beautiful rain and the dry grass all nice and green once again.
But now that winter has arrived in earnest, especially with cold days and consistent rain, I now can’t wait for summer! How typical of me to think this way. Never satisfied and always wanting what I don’t have now.
James says we are often like the winds and waves of the ocean with the way we change our minds or can’t make up our minds on a matter.
Jas 1:6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
Jas 1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.
Jas 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Imagine if God could not make His mind up or kept changing what He was going to do?
Thankfully, consistency and stability are part of the unchanging character of God.
Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not…
Each day we can faithfully lay our heads on our pillows and in the morning wake up knowing that God has not changed. That He is still who He says He is…..Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Knowing this brings total confidence and calm that God never changes, His love for me today will be the same again tomorrow, no matter how I stumble.
This is why we can have peace in our hearts at all time!
