UNCHANGING CHANGER
Exodus 9

A knowing about a truth and not being known to be living in such truth or not having the evidence of such truth is an empty knowledge. Unarguably, a knowing and constant meditation on the truth that the same God yesterday is the same God today will make the difference in the life of every believer. It will always energize the journey of faith everyday in the life of a believer. That being said, among the most interesting characteristic of God that should always be a resounding guide is the fact that God will always use foolish things to put to shame the wise. It is a very interesting character trait that calls for a sincere humility in the walk of life. 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, “But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.” This is exactly the operation of the same God yesterday, today and tomorrow. God has not changed and He will not change. There is nothing like one getting humbled to the ground where pride, arrogance and pomposity had become one’s identity. As a believer, whatever power is in your possession and no matter what you have become today, let the fear and the operation of His hand never elude your thought on a regular basis. Pharaoh was exposed to multiple signs and wonders that were enough for him to lower his pride, but he failed. God indeed hardened his heart, but it is also for our learning to understand that when a call for change constantly knocks on the door of our heart, we should not be foolish to not answer. Can you imagine what scattering handfuls of ashes from a furnace towards heaven would mean to a powerful king like Pharaoh? Surely it must have been a joke. God’s operation was not a joke when He said to Moses and Aaron, “Take for yourselves handfuls of ashes from a furnace, and let Moses scatter it toward the heavens in the sight of Pharaoh. 9 And it will become fine dust in all the land of Egypt and it will cause boils that break out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 9:8-9) Great is our God and He is greatly to be feared. God is beautiful for situations. God alone is the Unchanging Changer. Our God is the same God yesterday, today and tomorrow. God is worthy to be feared.

Prayer for today: O Lord my God, let not the foot of pride come against me and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
