Bible Verse of The Day – 6-24-22

Malachi 3:6 (NKJV) 6 “For I am the Lord, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.

In a world full of uncertainties, God’s unchanging nature is something we can hold fast to.

This verse is pretty interesting if we look closely at it, so let’s dig in!

Israel was a rebellious nation.

No matter what God did for them, how often He forgave them, or how many times He saved them from harm or destruction, they continued to rebel.

And they actually accused God of leaving them, when it was them who had abandoned God, over and over again.

He had every right to utterly destroy them. But He didn’t.

Why?

Because He had promised not to do so. He had promised to be their God and watch over them.

Because of His unchanging nature, He kept that promise. And because of that, He would not destroy them, even though they likely deserved it.

This is great for us to understand for two reasons.

One, it shows that God is trustworthy. He will never fail us.

Two, it shows that even when we rebel, if we sincerely repent, He will stand by us and do right by us.

And while He’s waiting for us to see our own sins and repent, He will wait patiently.

This is good news for us today, as we watch the world wallow in horrible amounts of horrific sin and evil.

Be assured that God will not abandon us. He will wait, wooing us to Himself, providing us with a way out of our rebellious ways.

Let us obey Him and do what He is asking us to do.
