As Changeable As The Weather

For I am the LORD, I do not change;
Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. Malachi 3:6

So, we woke up to a record low temp this morning, but could have record highs this week? Not surprising to us though, weather acts that way. Yes it is 46°F in my yard this August morning, jacket weather! As changeable as the weather is though, we have learned something else about the Lord in our verse today. A quick read through the Old Testament might lead one to believe the Lord was always ready to do Him some consuming. The Deluge, Sodom and Gomorrah, the drowning of Pharaoh's army in the Red Sea, and the conquest of Jericho might lead one to think a certain way of the Lord. And then there were all those laws with sudden death for breaking them. Yet, here we read that the sons of Jacob had one great hope to avoid that consuming, and that was that the Lord does not change.

It takes some study, but see the mercy of the Lord throughout the Old Testament. He loves you too!
