UNCHANGING GOD

Revelations 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

In attempting to understand the theories of change, we come to understand that one of the fundamental reasons change is resisted is the degree of disruption associated with it. ‘Familiarity and predictability’ are often preferred to ‘excitement and instability’ because although the latter combination fuels a dopamine rush, predictability provides grounding.

For example, knowing that a lesson starts at a specific time allows you to plan your schedule accordingly compared to a general information like “it starts sometime today”. With God therefore, predictability in a sense is what offers us a real assurance to come to Him. Once we come to understand his ways, his works and his power, we know exactly what we are getting, and outcomes are reproducible across board.

God is in today, yet He holds yesterday today and He is already in tomorrow. That is what Omnipresence truly entails – being every where, in every time and at every time. The same God, who was there in the beginning, walked with the patriarchs and prophets, worked with and through the Apostles, is the same one today.

So it holds that if we do what they did, we should see what they saw. Perhaps, execution might differ, but the outcomes should be the same. Beloved, God has not changed. Let me rephrase it “God cannot change!” We are those who think He has.
