So, you have just gotten some bad news. You have lost or may lose your job. You have bill that you can't pay. You have a sickness or a loved one has a sickness that is being called terminal. Your car has broken down and you can't afford to get another one. You are about to be evicted from your apartment. Your children are doing things that are harmful to themselves. You are stressed and yet can't sleep. Maybe all these things are happening at once.
I certainly hope not but even if they are, God is still the same God He was before your crises.
He is the same God who gave Sarah and Abraham a baby even though they had gone way past the time to have children.
He is the same God who preserved Moses life and brought down His wrath of Pharoah.
He is the same God who split the sea so that His people could walk through it.
He is the same God who provided manna for His people daily.
He is the same God who enabled a boy to kill a giant called Goliath.
He is the same God who made the flour and oil to multiply so a widow could provide for her son and Elijah.
He is the same God who brought the widow's son back to life when he died.
He is the same God who healed the leprosy of General Naaman.
He is the same God who multiplied the loaves and fishes.
He is the same God who made the lame walk, the blind see and the deaf hear.
He is the same God who resurrected a man who had been dead for four days.
He is the same God who resurrected His Son after three days.
He is the same God who came to you earlier in your life and brought you His presence in salvation.
He is the same God who has answered your prayers before this day.
And He will be the same God after your crisis is over.
James 1:17 (NIV)
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
Hebrews 13:8 (NIV)
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
