Praise God! He Is Unchangeable. Awe-God!
Praise God! In a rapidly changing world, where it seems like our culture is at war with all things good and has flip-flopped what is right for what is wrong and what is wrong for what is right, our family needs God, who is unchanging. God’s love, His truth, His Providential Care, changes not as the cultural tides of the times roll in crash on the shore of our lives. God is our Proof. Jesus is our Proven. The Holy Spirit is our Prover. We have a Triune Advocate Who is with and for our family in that unchangeable kind of way.
Ecclesiastes 3:16 Teacher: Again, I looked at everything that goes on under the sun and realized that in place of justice, wickedness prevails. In place of righteousness, wrongdoing succeeds. The Voice
Conditioned By Cultural War
There are temptations that are flying in our face daily in every media we turn on as a family. There are circumstances beyond our control that are happening that scare the living peace out of our family life. Our family is full of people with a human condition that is conditioned by the cultural war we are growing through in times such as these. Unchanging God, oh how we need the stability of Your way, truth and life to permeate the heart of our family life. We are grateful that you are unchanging and we pray to be found in You, to be stable in Your characteristic of goodness that changes not.
1 John 4:4-6 But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world. Those people belong to this world, so they speak from the world’s viewpoint, and the world listens to them. But we belong to God, and those who know God listen to us. If they do not belong to God, they do not listen to us. That is how we know if someone has the Spirit of truth or the spirit of deception. New Living Translation
Limitless Power Of God
Within our family is a limitless power of God that is unchanging, nothing in this world affects it, alters it or stops it. We as a family can overcome every evil formed against our family. We have the Holy Spirit in us, the favor of God surrounding us, the Word of God protecting us and Jesus Christ as our Advocate. There is no better way to live than to cling to God and dig our life roots deeply in His Word. We must reposition ourselves daily so we can stay in wholly-holy followship of Jesus, Who does not change, Who is a stability like no other for our family in these chaotic, changing times.
2 Corinthians 2:10-11 If you freely forgive anyone for anything, then I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I did so for you before the face of Christ, so that we would not be exploited by the adversary, Satan, for we know his clever schemes. The Passion Translation
Mediatic Social Media Frenzy
There is a mediatic frenzy of false narratives influencing the social media of our time. It is hard for our family to know what is true. Therefore, it is difficult to stand unmovable on the side of God truth. At times, this cultural war is very offensive to us, we pick up the spirit of offence as we hear harsh, cruel false narratives. We have to guard against this because offense always leads to arrogance in our soul. We have to be careful to forgive the offenses of the foolish in this cultural war of words. Why? Because unforgiveness always leaves the door wide open for the enemy to come into our family life with his chaos.
God’s Truth Is Unchangeable
We belong to God. God’s truth is unchangeable. It has not changed, even with this cultural war of words, lawlessness, disrespect, dishonor so prevalent in times such as these. The fake reality of someone else, no matter how loud, or violently it is pushed at our family, it does not change truth. Because someone believes a lie twisted up with rationalized assumptions, speculations, presuppositions and opinion, does not make it truth. If something is not absolutely the reality of truth, belief in it, does not make it truth. God’s truth is unchangeable and it remains the same for our family as we follow after God. When our family stands on the side of God Truth, we will know the difference between good and evil, the Holy Spirit will provide this discernment for our family.
