Our Constant

Science and math involve many concepts, formulas, numbers, excessive amounts of memorization and constants. Constants are values that are commonly used for certain situations that do not waver or change, such as gravity, pka values in the dreaded organic, etc. We all rely on them heavily for experiments and most importantly cram memorization only to forget immediately leaving the test (if you want a good laugh, youtube pka value parody) because a lot we will never use again. Constants make our lives easier for the most part. It's one less thing we have to worry about when accomplishing a task. But the question for you and me is, are we relying on our ultimate constant like we so heavily rely on these? Do we even view God as the ONLY constant in our life that never changes? These numbers don't readily change but there are always differences between decimal places between people but God doesn't differ. He doesn't waver. And he has proven it time and time again since creation. 

 Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations, (Deuteronomy 7:9, ESV)

He has proven time and time again throughout the entire Bible, and our lives as well, his steadfast faithfulness to his people. His promises with Noah where he saved the family and promised to never destroy the earth by flood again (Genesis 9:9-11). His covenant with Abraham promising the great nation that will come from his lineage (Genesis 12:1-3). His covenant with David, following in Abraham's lineage, establishing his throne for eternity (2 Samuel 7). David's throne for eternity leading to Christ, God's only son sent to earth to fulfill the ultimate promise of God redeeming his people in the unmatchable sacrifice of Christ on the cross. 

These and the many others all show that God does not waver from his promises. He has always provided and cared for his people.We have no reason to doubt God,  because he is good and his love is steadfast and he keeps his covenants, like in Deut. 7:9, as he has shown us. He doesn't have to show us. He didn't have to promise us anything and Jesus surely didn't have to step down from his throne and become flesh to die for us. We don't deserve it. But God granted it to us because he loves us and so we can glorify him for eternity. We must remember that because he deserves all of our worship and all of our praise because his promises and love never fail and are eternally fulfilled; he is our ultimate constant. 

We need these constants in our lives, in problems and experiments, but we need the one constant that doesn't waver. We can rely on the constants in science and math to an extent only before they are of no use anymore. We must rely on God as our constant in everything because he does not move or change. Will we remain constant with him as he has with us? 

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23, ESV)
