Psalm 135:13 "Thy name, O LORD, endureth for ever; and thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations."
This morning's devotion is a very simple one; yet, one that bears importance in
our lives today. The principle of today's devotion is repeated throughout the
Word of God.
(Malachi 3:6) "For I am the LORD, I change not"
(Hebrews 13:8) "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day,
and for ever."
These are only two of the passages that declare God does not and never will
change. The God of Whom we read in the Bible from thousands of years ago, is
the very same today as when He created this universe. He is the same as
when He opened the way for the children of Israel to go through the Red
Sea. As He provided for the people of Israel, He still provides for us
today. As He defeated the giants of the land and the giant against whom
David went, God will help us defeat the giants that rise up against us today.
We all have giants that are either real or imagined that prevent us from
entering into the fullness of the joy of the Lord. He has so many
blessings in store for us, but we somehow have either diminished our view of
the power of God or we have become diminished in our faith to step out and
follow Him. We ask for signs and things which we think will affirm our
faith is legitimate, when in reality God has given us faith to believe He is
and He is the provider of all blessings. We are to simply follow Him.
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to
God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently
seek him." (Hebrews 11:6) The entire 11th chapter of Hebrews speaks
of those saints of God who simply believed God and walked with Him. So as we
think of all the saints who walked with God and went against human logic and
against all enemies that came against them, we can be assured by today's verse
that God is still the same for us today. "Thy name, O LORD, endureth
forever." He changes not. He is the same yesteray, and to day, and
for ever. So my question to myself this morning would be this, Since God
doesn't change, and His grace, power, and glory is sufficient for every need,
why is my faith so small?
