Unchanging God
Yesterday morning while sitting down to a comfortable breakfast of eggs and toast and I happed to look out our window at the river. I got a sensation similar to one you might get when you are speeding along in a boat, with the rock and sand banks rushing past. During this rainy spell, our river has gone from a somewhat lazy depth that was only at my hips during the deepest times of summer, to a powerful height that would easily cover my head... and I am not exactly short.
I can't help but marvel at the awesome power of millions of gallons of murky water rushing past my comparatively small figure as I just stand and just watch.
Our normally 8-10 foot tall waterfall is completely engulfed in icy power. The stairs leading down the the rocky beach where thirteen people were baptized five months ago are almost nonexistent.
Maybe I am weird or something, but the way the river level has been rapidly rising and lowering dramatically over the past few days makes me think of how grateful I am to be under the rule of a God who has an unchanging nature. A God that is the same as yesterday, and will remain as He is tomorrow. Our river has had a devistating affect on areas on lower ground... how much more would the God of the universe if He felt kindly towards me one day, and couldn't stand my presents the next. I just praise the God I serve that He is 'the same yesterday and today and forever.' [.Hebrews 13:8.]
[.Malachi 3:6.]
