The Rebellious & The Repentant

Sometimes we just need a little reassurance from God that He and we are okay. Most of us can fluctuate at times concerning how confident we feel that God is pleased with us. We know that we are fully accepted by the sacrifice of Jesus, but we also are aware that we do not always live up to the place we have been graciously given by God. We have rebellious thoughts, unkind words, and sinful moments when we fall short of God’s holy expectation. In Psalm 103, we are granted entrance into some unchanging elements of who God is. These character traits of the Almighty never change. They are what theologians call ‘immutable.’ From our confidence in who God declares himself to be, we can find deep and meaningful reassurance for our souls that He cannot change toward us. For the rebellious ones and the repentant ones, there is constant hope.
