It is so awesome that God is unchanging. I change all the time and people around me seem to change all the time. It’s so refreshing to know that God never changes and he continues to be the same that he was day after day and throughout eternity. What I love about this is that it really does give us the chance to come to him and expect him to be who he says he is. What does God say he is? He says he’s just, hates sin, loves people (Psalm 103:8-12), is ready to give grace at any time (Hebrews 4:14-16; Matthew 11:28-30), wants us to be truthful with him to keep a right relationship with him so that we can come to him at any time (Psalm 66:18-20). The Salt Company staff will do their best to be ready to meet your needs any time we can. But we’re moody sometimes, and not always perfect. I know I am at least. But if all people in the world fail us, isn’t it unbelievably amazing that God would be willing to meet us where we’re at, at any moment be the God who does not change. Run to him if you’ve got anything good or bad going on in life, because he’s going to be ready to receive you right now. Praise God!
