112313= God does Not Need to Change

But you remain the same and your years will never end. (Psalm 102:27)

The grass withers and the flowers fade, but the Word of God endures forever. Do you not know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth?  He will not grow weary or tired.  (Isaiah 40:8,31)

Thoughts: God defines life and strength.  He is the ground of all being, the life behind life.  He does not grow weary and does not need to change or grow.  There is no weakness or imperfection of God that causes God to morph toward something better.  God does not need to know more- for He knows all.  He does not need to grow for He fills the universe.  He does not need to have more peace and love for He defines peace and love.  God does not need more than the penultimate- and He is that penultimate.  So God does not need to change- nor is he discontent with Himself for He has no weakness or sin with which to be discontent.  So our peace, our strength, our hope rests in Him.

Prayer: May my strength, O Lord, grow in your great strength.  May my love grow by your love.

Mysteries
A. Trinity
The triune nature of God is the first great mystery of the Christian
faith. With Christians everywhere, we worship the only
true God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - who is both one
essence and three persons. God is infinite, eternal, immutable,
impassible, and ineffable. He cannot be divided against
Himself, nor is He becoming more than He has been, since
there is no potential or becoming in Him. He is the source
of all goodness, all truth and all beauty, of all love and all life,
omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The three persons
are consubstantial with one another, being both coeternal,
and coequal, such that there are not three gods, nor are there
three parts of God, but rather three persons within the one
Godhead. The Son is eternally begotten from the Father, and
the Spirit proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son. All
three persons are worthy of worship and praise
