He's not like the shifting shadows

"Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows."

James 1:16-17

He does not change. I know that, but do I really KNOW it and TRUST it? God doesn't wake up on the wrong side of the bed. God isn't hormonal. God isn't offended by something today that didn't bother him yesterday. He isn't swayed by the current popular movement. He is constant. He is the same God who created the world and the Garden of Eden. He is the same God who was so angry at the sin of His people that He wiped them off the face of the earth by a flood. He is the same God who parted the Red Sea. He is the same God who sent His only Son down to save us. He is the same God who tore through the temple. He is the same God who walked to His own death for our ransom. He is the same God who knit me together in my mother's womb. He is the same God who covered my sins when I called out to Him. He is the same God who provided an open door so I could flee temptation. He is the same God who asked us to wait three years for a child and then blessed us with another one just 19 months later. He is the God who loves me regardless - although He longs for me to simply love Him and praise Him. He isn't always the God I want (meaning He doesn't always do things the way I want), but He is the God I seek. Shouldn't it be a lot easier for me to place my life in His hands knowing He is still the same? I don't need to question His character - I have lots of evidence of it. My faith should be strong because the One I put my faith in does not change like shifting shadows.
