Isaiah 44:6 - GOD IS ETERNALIsaiah 44:6 (NKJV) "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.COMMENTARY PEARL Unchanging and Everlasting We're all constantly changing and growing, and as a result, relationships can be unpredictable. If you've ever known the pain of a lost friendship, or if anyone has ever walked out of your life unexpectedly, you know the gift of having someone you can depend on. Someone who does what they say they will do. Have you ever considered the sheer relief of God's unchangeability? He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. We read in His Word that He is everlasting, never altering, and never shifting. He is who He is. Permanently. This means He has always been loving. He has always been strong. He is stable and holy. His provision does not waver. His grace for you does not fluctuate based on your performance. You can be fully dependent on Him. If you're looking for a safe place to rest your head, if your soul longs for stability, lean into His consistency today. Everything else might change, but hallelujah, He remains the same. Dear God, let my heart be bolstered by Your unchanging love, set in stone for all eternity. Let me dwell in awe that You are first and last of all things. [Grace and Glory by Louie Giglio] PRACTICAL APPLICATION It is so hard for our limited mental capacity to grasp the concept of eternity, yet the Scriptures challenge us to stretch beyond the logic of what we know to what we could not know apart from spiritual enlightenment. There was never a time when God was not there. Nor will there ever be a time when God will not be. No other can make this claim and prove it! But we have all the proof we need in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What does this mean to you? Do you sense the awesomeness of being so intimately related to God that you are described as being "in Christ?" If you sense that your life does not reflect this incredible truth, you can change it! Determine to spend 30 minutes a day for the next several months studying the attributes of God (grace, mercy, omnipotence, faithfulness, love, wrath, omnipresence, holiness, truth, justness, omniscience, sovereignty, immutability, patience, goodness, supremacy, solitariness). The fruits of this endeavor will be life-changing!
