He Never Changes

 Scripture:

“But Lord, you remain the same forever! Your throne continues from generation to generation.” Lamentations‬ ‭5‬:‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

In this passage, the writer is lamenting the destruction and deportation of God’s people. He is petitioning the Lord to hear his voice and restore his nation. In this one verse, his voice changes and he makes a statement to the Lord. He says, “You remain the same forever! Your throne continues from generation to generation.” What he is really saying is, “we have blown it, but You never change.” He reminds the Lord that they had failed, but that He was still on the throne forever.

Application:

No matter where we find ourselves in life, we can rest assured that, even if we move away from God, He never loves away from us. He never changes and isn’t threatened by what happens in our world. We serve the God who created us, sustains us, and who never changes. His covenant lasts forever. He doesn’t fall from His throne, even when things look bad around us. He isn’t changed by situations or circumstances. He is God and there is none like Him. He is great and glorious and never changing. 

Prayer:

Father, You are incredible and You never change. You are all-powerful and have all knowledge. Show me what to do in each and every situation of my life. Teach me to follow You well all the days of my life. Direct my steps and let my life bring You honor. Help me to respond well in every situation. Help me to lead well, no matter what happens around me.

Yours,

Jeff
