But you remain the same, and your years will never end. Psalm 102:27
I was much clever when I was younger to the point I attended a special science school and one thing that has stuck with me from that time till date is the concept of constants and variables in equations (a statement asserting the equality of two values or expressions be it linear or non-linear).
From this definition alone, one could assert NOTHING is straightforward. If it’s straight, it won’t be forward and if it’s forward, it isn’t going to be straight.
Narrow is the path …. (Matthew 7:14)
A constant is fixed and remains the same however variables represent a range of values hence they vary (could be direct and inverse) and requires an understanding of relationships or formulas to solve.
When scriptures say:
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Hebrews 13:8 – That’s a constant.
Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation or variableness [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse]. James 1:17 …. Constant!
God replied to Moses, “I Am Who I Am. Say this to the people of Israel: I Am has sent me to you.” Exodus 3:14 …Constant
For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable (can never be withdrawn) Romans 11:29 ….Constant.
But he became a priest with an oath when God said to him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’” Hebrews 7:21 Constant!
The good news today is no matter how many variables there are in your equation, there’s at least one constant. The constant is a key factor in your solution; once identified, the other values are FOUND or SOLVED. Where k (Jesus) is the constant of variation, solve for b in b/a or b =ka……. The variables(a and b) represent your needs, dreams or desires.
Solve for …….(whatever your variable). You can start by identifying the constant in the equation.
“I am the LORD, and I do not change. That is why you descendants of Jacob are not already destroyed. Malachi 3:6
The word is indeed quick, sharp and powerful … The entrance of IT gives light … understanding….life!
Celebrate the word!
