“But He is unique, and who can make Him change? And whatever His soul desires, that He does” (Job 23:13).
God is complete in and of Himself. He is not like us with needs that may cause our focus to shift from one thing to another. Those are the limits placed upon the human experience. We navigate through time not knowing the things that lie ahead of us. But God knows the end before the beginning. He is light and in Him are no shifting shadows. Why would He change His mind for such things that may be a fleeting thought within our minds? Instead of His mind being changed by us, our minds are to be renewed by Him. True humility is exercised when we are willing to forgo our will to what another wills. When we trust Him in areas we do not understand, He will give us the will and desire to please Him. We will experience His goodness and grow in our understanding of the dimensions of His love. What a blessing it is to find pleasure in what pleases Him! His uniqueness can then be celebrated. Some may wish to wrestle out of His hands what is exclusively His. He is God alone and infinite. We are but finite instruments of clay. It is His life within us that sets us apart from the rest of the world. Nothing can be compared to the joy that is experienced when our ways please the Lord. He gives us His joy, a joy that the external world cannot receive nor comprehend.
