Malachi 3 I am the Lord, I do not change I am dubious about the accuracy of our bathroom scale. So Ive learned to manipulate it in a self-satisfying manner. The little adjustment knob swerves to vary the register, and if that becomes too much bother, I just lean a certain way. The idea is to get a favourable reading - hopefully one that is a few pounds less. We live in an age where many people believe there are no absolutes. Self-serving behaviour is rampant and tramples the moral law given for the protection of society. Our culture prices itself on freedom that is actually slavery to sin. But we have a God of absolutes, whose scales never lose their adjustment. With Him, a pound is a pound, right is right and wrong is wrong. He says I am the Lord, I do not change. For us believers, this puts steel into our spiritual backbone. We gain confidence in the face of difficulty and are assured of the fulfilment of every divine promise. If God were easily moved by every whim or notion, our eternal destiny would be in constant jeopardy, but because He is the Unchanging One, we are not consumed, His compassions fail not. They are new every morning.
