No Change

Did you know that change changes?  Pocket change, that is.  One such change is the 1913 buffalo nickel, which showed the bison standing on a mound. The hill was soon leveled to make room for the words “five cents” and protect the nickel from wear. 

Don’t blink at the faithfulness of Jehovah!  Change, even the fear of change, can be paralyzing.  Poor bison didn’t have an option – sometimes neither do we.  How refreshing that God is unchangeable: "For I am the Lord, I change not." (Malachi 3:6)  Octavius Winslow describes everything outside of God as mutable. These here-on-earth things in which we foolishly take root and therewith bind ourselves are often gone with a wink and a blink.  Oh, that we just remember how faithful God was in the last crisis, the current situation, our latest circumstance.  That buffalo wasn’t near as minted as he thought but, Believer, The father is.  His character is unchangeable because He is unchangeable.  He is the God of … no change.
