\"\"<\/p>\n

God will always be the same. No one else will. Companies follow pay raises with pink slips.\u00a0Friends applaud you when you drive a classic and dismiss you when you drive a dud. Not God. God is always the same.<\/p>\n

James 1:17 says, with him, \u201cthere is no variation or shadow due to change.\u201d Catch God in a bad mood? Won\u2019t happen. Fear exhausting His grace? A sardine will swallow the Atlantic first.\u00a0Think he\u2019s given up on you? Wrong. Did he not make a promise to you?<\/p>\n

You see, God is not a human being, and he will not lie. He is not a human, and he does not change his mind. What he says, he will do. What he promises, he will make come true. His strength, truth, ways, and love never change.\u00a0Hebrews 13:8 declares he is \u201cthe same yesterday and today and forever.\u201d\u00a0What he says, he will do!<\/p>\n
