Read Hebrews 6:12-20 The Father of the heavenly lights . . . does not change like shifting shadows. - James 1:17 (NIV) Todays Devotional My wife, Holly, had decided to surprise our daughter Jessie at her school for kindergarten lunch. After they finished eating, Holly suggested a game of Telephone (also called Gossip), where the first person whispers a phrase or sentence into the next person’s ear. The second person passes on what they thought they heard, until all participants have received the message. Then, the last person says aloud what was said to them. Usually, the final statement is vastly different from the initial one. Jessie started one of the rounds by whispering, “God is always the same.” The game went on, around the table, through several little kindergartners, until the final statement was revealed: “God is always the same.” The original statement had not changed at all. James 1:17 tells us that God is steadfast, unchanging. Numbers 23:19 also speaks of God’s faithfulness: “God is not human, that he should lie . . . [or] change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?” We can trust and rely on God. Over a period of several thousand years, God promised the Messiah — and that promise was filled in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. How amazing was this steadfast promise!

Prayer: Dear God, in a constantly-changing world, remind us that you are trustworthy and that your promises never change. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Prayer Focus: Someone who is doubting God
