Not Human

Numbers 23:19 says God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
I love this verse!
Humans lie, change their minds, speak and then forget what is spoken, promise and then go back on what was assured to happen.  It happens to all of us.  We mean well, but we fail again and again. 
I watched a Hallmark movie during the holidays about an aunt who constantly promised her little niece to come visit her, watch her at performances, etc. and she consistently failed and didn’t show.  This saddened her niece and upset their relationship.
God isn’t like humans.  He does not lie, nor does he change his mind.  What he speaks he does, and what he promises he fulfills.
He has spoken that he came to give us life and an abundant life, at that.
This new year that’s coming, read over the promises of God in his word for you and yours.  Believe them…and receive them.  They’re yours.
He never changes…even when we do…and when the world falls apart…he is always there holding us together.
