Watchman Nee "Daily Devotional" for Dec.11
For I, Jehovah, change not. Malachi 3.6.
God never changes, neither does the work of the Lord Jesus know any change, nor does the Holy Spirit ever change. A child in his ignorance thinks that the sun has disappeared on a rainy day. So he asks his father where the sun went. He climbs the stairs to gain a higher view of the sun, but he cannot find it. He may even ascend a watchtower nearby, yet still he cannot find the sun. In actuality, though, we older ones know that the sun has not changed; it has merely been hidden from view by dark clouds. Now in just the same way, the believer’s Sun does not change, only his feeling does: there are dark clouds in his personal sky so that the light of his Sun is screened from view. If a believer lives in his feeling, his sky will often change and be frequently overshadowed by clouds. But if he does not live according to feeling, his sky will suffer no change at all. We ought to live above the dark clouds of feeling.
