Isaiah 40:31. But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Search the Bible at BibleGateway. I decided to become an astrophysicist at the age of eight. I read all the physics and astronomy books in the children’s section of my library. My family supported my voracious appetite for knowledge. My teachers assigned me lots of extra-curricular projects in the social sciences, which eventually sparked my spiritual quest. In my last year of high school, I studied the Thirty Years’ War for one extra project. I wondered why the Catholics and Protestants shed so much blood over trivial doctrine. I posed tough questions to my teacher, who sent me off to the library to read books on comparative religions. Read More... Tunnel Vision. In 1971, the troubles in Northern Ireland were increasingly becoming a danger to me and to my six children. We listened to horror stories of suffering every day on the radio. Our personal horror story came the night I was attacked by two gunmen. One beat me while asking me questions about someone’s whereabouts.

 For I am the LORD, I do not change; Therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob. (Malachi 3:6)
When we use the word eternal, to me its hard to explain how anything or anyone can be eternal. To call on God as “our Father” speaks to me of a person who never changes, that in its self is a mighty miracle, serving someone who never changes.
Everything in our life is changing, daily things change, they change so fast we can’t keep up with them. Look at our society, the morals of our day, the church, the educational system, the list is endless it’s mind boggling the changes being made. We are changing, if you don’t believe it, get an old picture out and see for yourselves, but praise God, He remains the same. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. (James 1:17). Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He does not change. Think about this, our God does not have a beginning or ending, we must never forget, He is God, our God, He is on the throne. “He Is In Control.”
