Change

Falling Leaf Lake,CA
.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

[ God Gave His Word ] When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line. He said, "I promise that I'll bless you with everything I have—bless and bless and bless!" Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him. When people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that they'll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up. When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee—God can't break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable.

God also bound himself with an oath, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind.

[ The Day the Sky Will Collapse ] Don't overlook the obvious here, friends. With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day. God isn't late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back the End because he doesn't want anyone lost. He's giving everyone space and time to change.

[Born anew] into an inheritance which is beyond the reach of change and decay [imperishable], unsullied and unfading, reserved in heaven for you.

James 1:17 Hebrews 6:13 Hebrews 6:17 2 Peter 3:8 1 Peter 1:4

We don/t know what this world is coming to, but we know the One who is coming to this world.
