He's Still God
Weekly devotional by Barbara Sanders

1 Corinthians 1:9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Surely everyone has heard the song that goes 'He's God all over the ocean, He's God all over the sea ........ I know God is God, and He always will be God.' We often try to dis-engage ourselves from the spiritual way of thinking - seriously! We tend to think the way man thinks; after all, we are still in the flesh. The Spirit within us keeps prodding our minds, wanting us to relinquish our whole being to the Lord. But, we keep overriding the Holy Spirit and go on our merry way. And, we get in trouble! The enemy would have us think that we don't need God, that we can do anything on our own. And, some believe his lies. We have to guard against the enemies words by keeping the Word of God closely in our hearts. God is always God, but, we sometimes get complacent in our spiritual lives. This is when the enemy steps in, gets your mind all muddled up with the world's way of thinking, and you find yourself headed down the wrong path, and don't know how you got there. God never changes. He has always has been, is, and always will be the same. It's us that change. We go on, day to day, either walking with the Lord, or going on our separate ways. We don't realize we've separated ourselves from God, until we come across a problem that's too hard for us to handle. We need help, so we turn to God. He's there waiting for His children to come to Him, to sit at His feet, and learn of His ways. When He chastises His children, it's because He loves us. He has always wanted the best for His children, from the time of Adam and Eve in the garden, until today. He never changes! If you've become complacent, found yourself not growing, or perhaps completely separated from God, why not call His name? He is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He loves you as He did the first day you called upon Him to save your soul. He wants to be FATHER in every facet of your life. He can give you the peace you long for, and the love you may never have had. No matter how much you change, God is always the same. He LOVES you!
