Mormon 9:9 -- On Sameness and Stability

"For do we not read that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and in him there is no variableness neither shadow of changing?"
Mormon 9:9


I love this.  Although we sometimes look at sameness as boring, I don't think that unchanging in this context means boring in any way, but instead it is the stability and solidity we need in our lives... even when all else is in commotion and unreliable, we can still have absolute faith and trust in God.  His love and guidance are always there to draw upon whenever we turn to him... even if we have previously gone off like the prodigal son, he will always welcome us home.

His commandments are also stable.  He's never going to bend and agree that it is okay for us to mess up our own lives... and that is a good thing, and it means that we can always rely on his wisdom and guidance, because we know he will never lead us astray or bend for the wrong reasons.  He's always going to teach us and encourage us to become the best beings we can possibly be.

Today, let's look to God and rely on him as our rock, and the anchor to our souls.  If we stay connected to him, we can look forward with confidence, and never lose our way.
