One of the great attributes of God is that he is immutable which means he is “not subject to change.” As it says in Malachi 3:6, “I am the LORD, I change not.”
This morning, I read about this attribute in A. W. Tozer’s book, “The Attributes of God.” Tozer says of God, “He simply says that He never changes, that there is no change possible in God. God never differs from Himself. If you get ahold of this, it can be to you an anchor in the storm, a hiding place in danger.”
As I continued reading this chapter on this attribute of God, I found these three paragraphs to be especially powerful. I hope you are blessed as you read them as well…

“God allows things to change in order that He might establish that which cannot change. The altar changed from a temporary altar to the eternal altar; the priesthood changed from the temporary priesthood of Aaron to the eternal priesthood of Christ; the tabernacle changed from the temporary tabernacle of Jerusalem to the eternal tabernacle in the heavens; the blood sacrifice changed from the blood that was shed repeatedly to the blood that was shed once for all and does not need to be repeated. Things changed until they perfected themselves and then they changed no more. “All things as they change, proclaim the Lord eternally the same.” (p. 101).
"If you turn to Him for clearer light, you’ll find He is the same Jesus as when He gave the blind their sight – the very same Jesus. He’ll feed you as he feed the multitude, He’ll calm you as He calmed the sea. He’ll bless you as He blessed the children. He’ll forgive you as He forgave the woman that fell at His feet in her shame. He’ll give you eternal life as He gave eternal life to His people. He’ll wash you as He washed their feet, back there. He’s the same! The God we preach is the same God, unchanging and unchangeable, forever and ever." (p. 103)
"I recommend to you Jesus Christ, the unchanging One. I recommend to you God’s answer to your questions, God’s solution to your problems, God’s life for your dying soul, God’s cleansing for your sin-cursed spirit, God’s rest for your restless mind and God’s resurrection for your dying body. For your advocate above, I recommend Him to you. You will find Him to be all He ever was – the very same Jesus.” (p. 104)
