GOD IS STILL ON THE THRONE

"Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be!"
" The Lord is the "same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). Here is a stable rock on which to rest amid the changing billows of the sea of life. What awful alterations we are now witnessing in the world. Peace has given place to war, order to chaos, happiness to misery. The homes of millions cruelly broken up, the plans and prospects of countless young lives widely shattered, kingdoms overthrown, the most stable and ancient institutions are now in the melting pot. But none of this has affected God: it will never have to be said of Him that He began to build and was unable to finish. He is still on the throne "working all things after the counsel of His own will" (Ephesians 1:11). It is this which enables faith to say. "Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea" (Psalm 46:2). It is this which assures the believer that no matter how he may waver or professing Christians apostatize, he shall not perish: "I am the Lord, I change not..." (Malachi 3:6). It is which causes the Christians to rely on the Divine promises: the knowledge that with God "is no variableness, neither shadow of turning" (James 1:17)...ARTHUR W. PINK
