Another thought from A.W. Tozer

Tozer is a dead saint that God has used in my life. His book,"The Pursuit of God." is so utterly spiritual, it seems to glow from nearness to the person of God. In keeping with my blog title, I will post a few great thoughts from this book:

"Much of our difficulty as Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingl. We insist upon trying to modify Him and to bring Him nearer to our own image....We can get a right start only by accepting God as He is and learning to love Him for what He is. As we go on to know Him better we shall find it a source of unspeakable joy that God is just what He is. Some of the most rapturous moments we know will be those we spend in reverent admiration of the Godhead. In those holy moments the very thought of change in Him will be too painful too endure."

Malachi 4:1 - "I the LORD do not change" This ought to be better news to us than: "You will never get cancer or any disease for all your life." or "From this day forward your children will be saints to perfection" or "you have just received one million dollars." The LORD does not change. This is far greater.

If we knew our God better, knew how truly wonderful and satisfying He is, then knowing that this will not change, and that we possess Him, in Jesus Christ our Savior, oh how happy we may be! "The very thought of change in Him will be too painful too endure" if this is our only pain, then we are in for everlasting pleasure, in the presence of God, because of his unchanging promise to justify those who have faith in Jesus.
