“The unchangeable”
Our creator says, “I change not”. You know, through my life I have noticed things that change and there are things that do not. Things that change can be easy or hard, but they both lead to something that never changes, as in a destination, we start on a trip to a certain spot or place. In the Tennessee mountains where we live, a G.P.S. can lead you in a circle, right where we started from. They are great for city navigation but, not in the country or rather the (Wilderness). This can make getting to the place we set out for difficult.
God says, “I know the plans I have for you”
When we get born again, we think we have arrived at our destination. We begin to use our own new rebuilt G.P.S. as a guide to navigate the wilderness and the circling begins. Some times we reach the simpler destinations, but the more difficult ones we just circle around in confusion. Being born again is very very important, but is just the beginning. God has many destinations (Plans) for us to reach. All are good, but all are not easy. I can have a G.P.S. that will point to the lookout house on top of a Mt. Cammerer behind my home, but the elevation is 5,300 ft. The trip is going to be difficult. God’s plans for us are written in stone and are unchangeable. All our destinations reached in life are good, just wait until you get there.
God says, “I can not lie”
There are plans and designs that He built into life when He created the Heavens and the Earth that can not be changed. They are unchangeable. Gravity is unchangeable and man cannot duplicate it. The destinations in our lives are unchangeable even though we try. It’s not wrong to try, but we can’t get there from here. Every destination we reach in Gods plan is good and we become wiser in life and God.
God says “I never slumber or sleep”
For me personally, life on this earth has been a long time. Some of my destinations have taken a long, long time. Learning a new new character lesson, getting free from a long time habit, an ugly sin etc. God’s plan is to develop a new reborn way of life in us. This plan has many destinations and final conclusions that build Godly character in us. These destinations are written in stone and are unchangeable. He is always walking in us and helping us to reach these very important completions.
God says, “I have spoken”
When God speaks, it is final, there is no other way. He has reasons behind His statements, some we can see and understand and some we can not. Faith is trusting Him in His decisions. There are external destinations apart from our own. Some would be world structure and order. He says, “I raise up Kings and pull them down”. He said, “In the last days, I will bring my people Israel back to their homeland”. We have in our own lives, seen God do what He said thousands of years ago. This was one of Gods planned destinations for Israel. He also said that “I am coming back for my church without spot or blemish”. This means both the individual and the corporate.
God said, “I will surely come”
From the time of the rebellion in the Garden of Eden, God has been planning destinations for us all, for the great one when He returns. Jesus said, “I come in the cloud and every eye will see me, even those who pierced me”. Everyone who has been perfected by His preplanned Destinations will know Him and shout for joy. Our Father and teacher has come. Then we will see Him face to face.
PS: When we start our first destination God see us as already perfect. We just have to walk them out for us to know it.
