Always The Same God

Malachi 3:6-10
6 "I the LORD do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. 7 Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you," says the LORD Almighty.
      "But you ask, 'How are we to return?'  8 "Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me.
      "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?'
      "In tithes and offerings. 9 You are under a curse—the whole nation of you—because you are robbing me. 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.


God is always the same.  He is the same here as he is in the New Testament.  He wants his people to turn from their ways and return to Him.

God is the same today.  As he said through his prophet, he still wants us to turn from our sins and to turn to Him.  He has put out his laws for us to follow, not to break.  He wants us to be Holy so that we can stay in His presence. 

Father God, I thank you for you are Holy and Exalted.  I thank you for you have not changed.  Lord, you are not a wishy-washy God.  If we were not perfect, you didn't just think of getting rid of us or changing your mind about us, but no, you have urged us to make ourselves Holy so that we can enjoy a relationship with you.  Lord, I thank you for your words, for your promises.  Lord, I thank you for always being the God that you are.  I give you all the glory in Jesus name.
Amen.
