Unchanging One 2

 I am the Lord, I do not change  ,so reads Malachi 3 v 6, we considered last time how awful changeable  Israel were,talking ,there is a saying of 'biting the hand that feeds you'. Their whole history was of God looking after them,freeing them from slavery,giving them a homeland of their own. In spite of them continually backsliding,rebelling against God,and forsaking Him, He still loved them, and cared for them.Like Israel ,we who delight in Christ as our Saviour, and God as our Father,if we were truthful have not followed God perfectly.Yet God comes to us and  tells us that He still loves us,has not forsaken us, cares for us in so many ways. Yes He is the Lord ,who does not change,let us bow our heads  ,and whisper a prayer of thankfulness,and tell him how much we love Him.

                                            'O to grace how great a debtor

                                             Daily I'm constrained to be!

                                             Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter,

                                             Bind my wandering heart to Thee,

                                             Prone to wander,Lord ,I feel it,

                                             Prone to leave the God I love;

                                             Here's my  heart ,Lord, take and seal it,

                                             Seal it from Thy courts above.!.
