There is NO shadow of turning with Thee...

a random tangent before i begin:
i really hate being in limbo. let me explain. if in the event i call a person AND i facebook them about doing something on a particular day that i know we are both not doing anything, and i specifically say things like "let me know" and /or "call me back", and they don't....that kind of limbo. the least you could do is let me know that you are occupied for the time and we aren't going to be able to do anything. because i really hate not knowing these things.
thanks.

now on to what i really wanted to write about.

i do not understand things that do not change. i'm not sure that any of us do, really. because if you think about it, in some way, shape or form absolutely everything in our lives changes; whether it's noticeable or not. i've talked about this with a few people, but God has really been inforcing to me, in a couple different ways, how much He doesn't change. and that is something that i wrestle with. i don't understand permenance, especially in the relationship area. but the idea of a God who loves me the same way He did at the beginning of time, and the same way He will at the very end of time is an issue that i must constantly remind myself of.
very often i find my reliance on God something that teeters, because in a sub-concious way, i'm wating on Him to change, when He's promised that He won't...

how incredibly lost i'd be without that Firm Foundation in my life. "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows" (James 1:17)

"Great is Thy faithfulness, Oh God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be
...All I have needed, Thy hand has provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me."
