Mormon 9:9-10 -- On Unchanging Perfection

"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? And now, if ye have imagined up unto yourselves a god who doth vary, and in whom there is shadow of changing, then have ye imagined up unto yourselves a god who is not a God of miracles." Mormon 9:9-10


I like that one of the perfect things about God is his firmness and solidity... always there, never changing. Change (the positive kind) is something *we* need desperately, because we still have far to go to reach perfection, and if we got stuck the way we are, that would be a tragedy in terms of lost potential. God though has everything together, and he offers all the good sides of sameness and consistency. Something to rely on, to trust in, to lean on when we stumble or need help standing. Always, always there when we need him (which honestly is always). Today, even though it's tough to do, let's change for the better and work towards some consistency in our lives as well, remembering that "A double minded man is unstable in all his ways" (James 1:8). Let's make good decisions, and reach towards God as our anchor, emulating him in trying to purge the bad and embrace the good so that someday we can find our own perfection as well.
