Today is my blog's first birthday. On October 24, 2009, I wrote my very first blog post. So many things have changed since then: we have changed, creation has gone through numerous changes, circumstances have changed, even this blog has changed. Time involves change. But there is One who never changes: God. He's the same today that He was a year ago. Exactly the same! All that has changed is our understanding of Him and our relationship with Him. “For I the LORD do not change” (Malachi 3:6). “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). He is the One Great Invariable.
This is somewhat hard to understand, for we have become so very accustomed to change. Change is a way of life. There are things that have changed that we could never have guessed at only a year ago. How comforting it is to have Someone solid to hold on to in this constantly-changing world! No matter what may change, He is always the same. Always, forever.
This is a hope to cling to when looking to the future. The future is uncertain, to say the least. With so much change in this world, life could be filled with anxiety and worry; but it need not be—we have an eternally unchanging God to cling to. Let us cling to Him with hope, knowing that He will NEVER change. His promises will never change. He will still never forsake us. His love will never lessen. His faithfulness will never fail. Everything He always has been He is still. This is the God we believe in. He NEVER changes.

Praise God that He never changes. I know science is constantly looking for a constant so the scientist can use it as a measuring stick. No matter how many times science declares a constant it has to give the conditions under which the constant is actually constant.
Uhh... Ramble, ramble, ramble, and ramble some more. :)
Thank you and congratulations on your blog's birthday!
Wow! Your blog's 1st birthday already!?!? Where has this year gone, bro?
And thanks for posting this. I've been thinking lately about some of the changes we've gone through in the past couple years, and the changes coming up. And it really is comforting to know we have such a solid, unchanging God to rest upon in the middle of it all. Even though we might struggle through change...we have that "anchor for our souls" that always draws us back to Himself. Maybe that's why change is such a part of human existence (in life, in nature, etc.)...so that we can appreciate His same-ness all that much more!
Thanks :)
