His providences may change, His heart cannot.
祂的护理或许会改变，但祂的心永不改变。
“Morning Thoughts” 晨间默想
作者：奥克塔维亚斯·温斯洛（Octavius Winslow）
“I am the Lord, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already completely destroyed.” Malachi 3:6
“我是耶和华，我不改变。所以你们雅各的子孙没有灭亡。” 玛拉基书3:6
The immutability of God forms a stable foundation of comfort for the believing soul. Mutability marks everything outside of God.
神的不变性为信徒的心灵提供了稳固的安慰基础。变化标记着神以外的一切。
Look . . . into the church, into the world, into our families, into ourselves, what innumerable changes do we see on every hand!
看哪…无论是教会、世界、我们的家庭，还是我们自己，我们在各处都看到无数的变化！
A week, one short day, what alterations does it produce! Yet, in the midst of it all, to repose calmly on the unchangeableness, the faithfulness of God.
一周，甚至短短一天，都会带来多少改变！然而在这一切中，我们仍能安息在神的不变性和信实之上。
To know that no alterations of time, no earthly changes, affect His faithfulness to His people. And more than this; no changes in them, no unfaithfulness of theirs, causes the slightest change in God.
要知道，无论时间如何变迁，世事如何改变，都不会影响祂对祂子民的信实。更重要的是，即使他们发生改变，即使他们不忠实，也不会使神有丝毫的改变。
Once a Father, always a Father; once a Friend, always a Friend.
一旦是父亲，永远是父亲；一旦是朋友，永远是朋友。
His providences may change, His heart cannot.
祂的护理或许会改变，但祂的心永不改变。
He is a God of unchangeable love. Peace then, tried believer!
祂是永恒不变之爱的神。因此要平安，经历试炼的信徒啊！
Are you passing now through the deep waters? Who kept you from sinking when wading through the last? Who brought you through the last fire? Who supported you under the last cross? Who delivered you out of the last temptation?
你现在是否正在经过深水？在你涉过上一次深水时，是谁使你不致沉沦？是谁带你经过上一次火焰？是谁在你背负上一个十字架时支持你？是谁将你从上一次试探中拯救出来？
Was it not God, your faithful, unchangeable God?
难道不是神，你那信实、永不改变的神吗？
This God, then, is your God now, and your God forever and ever! And He will be your guide even unto death!
这位神，就是你现在的神，也是你永永远远的神！祂必引导你，直到死时！
