#107 - Attributes of God - Immutability - 86 Seconds Video Devotional - Gary Wilkerson

We're continuing our series on the attributes of God. Today I want to talk about the immutability of God; another big word. We've talked in the past about in comprehensibility, aseity - things that are quite difficult for us to understand because they're languages that we don't really use today. But the immutability of God - mutable means to change, so immutability means doesn't change; so God doesn't change.

He says that in scripture himself, "I am the Lord, and I change not." Many of us think God changes all the time - he feels good about us; he feels bad about us. He's angry at us; he loves us.
Now certainly those are characteristics of God that he makes known to us, but his very core nature, the being of God itself, is unchangeable. He is not partly love and partly anger. He's totally love and he gets angry.

He is - he has the wrath of God that comes out of him, that's part of his nature and his character, and these things are unchanging. That's good news for us, because when your friends change, when your spouse changes, when your kids change, when you're teenagers grow up and they no longer respect you or honor you or seem to love you.

A lot of things happen in the world around us there changing, but God never changes knowing that he's perfect, knowing that everything he does is absolutely perfect, that means you can trust that. You could say like
the song says, 'Great is my faithfulness. Oh Lord my God, great is your faithfulness,' is new every morning. Now, he doesn't invent new unchangeable attributes, he stays the same and every morning, we wake up and we have that joy of knowing the goodness of God.
