Unchangeable God
“Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” (Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV) Change is easily managed and highly motivated when all new conditions clearly indicate improvement over the old conditions. However, when conditions and circumstances surrounding the life project appear to proceed without clear improvement, the cause for alarm is evident. All of Israel, including Moses and Joshua, understood the dilemma of the proposed change of leadership from Moses to Joshua; and how it could create fear and discouragement, unless God’s position is accepted by faith. We can only accept any change in condition, location and position with motivational strength and courage, when we are confident about the fact that God that lead the way is unchanging.
