Last night the 2010 Winter Olympic Games ended. Our family enjoyed watching several events together. One thing that struck me was the various surprises along the way. Some who were expected to win a medal did not, while others performed much better than expected and did earn a medal. I guess even for elite athletes, sometimes you have it and sometimes you don’t. Some of the greats underperformed due to physical problems, some because of weather conditions outside their control, some because of poor officiating, some because they just didn’t keep it together mentally.
We all have our ups and downs, days when we’re on the top of our game, and times when we just don’t have what it takes in one way or another. Not so with God.
Our God is always “on top of His game” and His “game” is the best in the universe. God’s knowledge has always been infinite and it will never change. God’s power is infinite, and it will never change. God’s plan is perfect and it always will be – flawless in every detail. God is impeccably holy and righteous, absolutely just – the standard is not a moving target, it will never change.
The God who solved your problems, gave you perfect guidance, freely poured out His grace for you to face the most challenging circumstances, generously and mercifully forgave your sin. This God is the same God you serve today.
This is the comfort, the stability, the strength of the immutability of God.
When you feel like life is overwhelming, recall how God has miraculously worked in the past. He’s still the same!
When you’re confused by the bombardment of voices trying to tell you what is right and wrong, turn to God and His Word. The truth is there and it has not changed. He’s still the same!
Are you bewildered over the right direction to take in life. Remember that God’s plan has always been perfect and He has always worked it out perfectly. He’s still the same!
When you feel like you don’t have the strength to keep going, recall the indescribable demonstrations of God’s power in the past. He’s still the same!
Whatever you face, whatever your challenge, surely you can recall a time in biblical history or in your own life that demonstrates that God is more than adequate to meet the need. And He’s still the same!
