He is all of these things and He does not change. He has not changed. All while we change constantly. I have to be so very proactive about not being ruled by my ludicrous emotions and I still lose those battles constantly. He is the anchor of my soul and I NEED HIM DESPERATELY. 

I am eternally grateful to know and remember my life, righteousnes, joy, hope and peace depend on Him and not on me keeping myself in line. 

Oh LORD, I love you. Thank you for remaining faithful, good and just, providing even as I complain and fret. Thank you for staying true to your promises and sending Christ, the descendant of David, to be our King and Priest, leading and sanctifying. 

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalm 51:10)

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.” (Psalm 139:23-24)
