Daily Devotional:

“My Consistent Constant”

Malachi 3:6

"For I am the Lord, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob."

We live in a world defined by "the next big thing" wherein technology swiftly updates overnight, trends shift with a swipe, and even the people we rely on most can change their minds, their moods, or their commitments. Constant change can feel like treading water in a restless sea and eventually, you get tired of trying to stay afloat.

In the middle of this instability, God makes a bold, comforting declaration: "I do not change."

In Biblical truth, this is known as the immutability of God. It means He doesn't evolve, He doesn't have "off days," and His character doesn't fluctuate based on our performance. He isn't a "better version" of Himself today than He was yesterday, because He is already perfect. The second half of the verse is where the relief really sets in: "Therefore you are not consumed." Malachi was writing to a people who had been unfaithful, cynical, and weary. If God changed His mind like we do, He might have given up on them, and us, long ago. We aren't "consumed" by our mistakes orthe chaos of life because God’s covenant-keeping nature is the ultimate safety net. His mercy is a fixed point. When we fail, we don't fall into a void; we fall onto the bedrock of His unchanging grace.

God is the only constant security in an inconstant world. Your safety isn't based on your ability to hold onto God, but on His unchanging decision to holdonto you. Because His nature doesn't change, His promises from thousands of years ago are just as valid for you this morning as they were the day they werespoken. This is a reminder that God is the ultimate constant. Unlike humans, who are often fickle or influenced by moods and circumstances, God isentirely consistent.

This is the truth to carry when everything else is in flux, let this thought sink in today that the Character of God is your guide. Whether you feel it or not, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. You are safe in His hands because He never let go.
