UNCHANGING, UN-SHIFTING GOD

Post date: May 24, 2012 6:17:10 AM

There are many things that man will never come to know and understand in life; many will go unnoticed and many will be noticed, but there will never be any question strong enough from man to compel God to give an answer to these things. God is sovereign in all things, knowledge and wisdom inclusive. In the best interest of everyone, He acts and directs the affairs of His people on earth. He has every cogent reason to allow what He allows and anyone who question Him should not expect answer if He decides to keep it to himself. Despite what the devil is doing, God is setting up situations and men in divers places for His glory and the devil is doing his very best to hinder, but despite all of the devil’s efforts, God will surely have His perfect way.

When He sets you up, He will keep you up despite your feelings, words and actions of men and the devil. God knows what it takes to lift up and to provide continuous safety for His own, He knows how to rescue when fallen, He knows how to deliver when attacked by the enemy and how to preserve when confounded and confused and He will never deny His children in any.

Our God is forever unchanging and un-shifting in character and promise, nothing overwhelms Him and nothing confuses Him. He had proven Himself in everything and will continue to do so in your life and situation. He is forever bound to perform His words to all His children.

He delivered lot and his family from their torments when they were unable to deliver themselves, and that same God can deliver you. “Yes, Lot was a righteous man who was tormented in his soul by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day. So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of judgment” 2 Peter 2:8-9

You may have been called, chosen and placed on a higher position or still struggling, you may be the most talented, the most effective, the most innovative, the greatest thinker on earth today, and the best in almost all things, or the poorest and least motivated, but due to our common fleshly nature, we are subject to difficulties as we progress in life each day, but there is no difficulty that God cannot deliver us from. Look at what Satan did to Joshua and what God did thereafter.  

“Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord. The accuser Satan, standing there at the angel’s right hand making accusations against Joshua. And the Lord said to Satan, I, the Lord, reject your accusations, Satan. Yes, the Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. This man is like a burning stick that has been snatched from the fire. Joshua’s clothing was filthy as he stood before the angel. So the angel said to others standing there, take off his filthy clothes. And turning to Joshua he said, see I have taken away your sins, and now I am giving you these fine new cloths. Then I said, they should also place a clean turban on his head, so they put a clean priestly turban on his head and dressed him in new clothes while the angel of the Lord stood by. Then the angel of the Lord spoke very solemnly to Joshua and said, this is what the Lord of heavenly armies says; if you follow my ways and carefully serve me, then you will be given authority over my temple and its courtyards, I will let you walk among these others standing here” Zachariah 3:1-7 (NLT)

There is no filthy garment, no curse, no accusation, no disease, no pains, no sickness, no delay, no hardship, no disappointment, no lack, no tears, and no frustration in you that God does not know about and cannot deliver you from. God is forever unchanging and un-shifting in His promises. He rescued Lot and gave him a new place; He delivered Joshua, cancelled all accusations, and turned Him around. That is the God you serve.
