The Power of Remembering God's Unchanging Nature

Remembering the unchanging nature of God is crucial for our ability to remember. When we find ourselves struggling and forgetting, knowing that our Lord is the same yesterday, today, and forever can recalibrate our thinking and stabilize our emotions. Storing up scripture in our minds and hearts helps us absorb it, making it a part of us. Just as a concert pianist instinctively knows the music they play, we should aim to have such knowledge of the scriptures. Memorizing verses from the Bible, like the 119th Psalm emphasizes, is a way to store up the words of scripture. Older saints who have deeply absorbed the word of God can still engage in profound fellowship with the Lord even when their minds start to fade.
