God is … Unchanging
Bible Reading – Psalm 102
Unchangeable
How could we trust a changeable, fickle God?
25 In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
and they will be discarded.
27 But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.
28 The children of your servants will live in your presence;
their descendants will be established before you.’

Unchangeable in His Plans
“far before time, before creation’s dawn …”
