The Same God — Morning by Morning, June 17, 2026

“God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” (Hebrews 1:1-4).

“You are the same” (Psalm 102:27).

Morning by Morning, June 17, 2026 — The Same God

Good morning, Lord Jesus. You said Your sheep hear Your voice to know You and follow You, so I’m listening for Your leading, as I begin my day embraced by my Father, centered in Christ, and filled with Your Holy Spirit (John 10:27). …

You are the same God. …

The same God who spoke to Moses on the mountain of Sinai is the same God who spoke to Paul on the road to Damascus. The same God who parted the Red Sea is the same God who parted the veil of the temple. The same God who forgave David for his sins of adultery and murder is the same God who forgave Mary Magdalene and set her free from her seven demons.

You spoke to them and You speak to us. You forgave them and You forgive us. You delivered them and You deliver us. You are the same God.

You never change. Your Word never changes. But You change us. And You continue to reveal Yourself to us. Through the Old Testament, through the New Testament, and right up through today in the testament You’re writing in our hearts and through our lives, revealing who You are to us and in us and through us.

“God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they” (Hebrews 1:1-4).

The God who “spoke in time past to the fathers” is the God who still speaks to Your sons and daughters in our present times. The God who revealed Yourself to Moses as “merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth” is the same God who reveals Yourself through Jesus Christ as “full of grace and truth” (Exodus 34:6; John 1:14). 

You are one. You are holy. You are just. You are faithful. You are true. You are love. You are “the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). In You, “there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:17). As You said to the “sons of Jacob” in times past, You continue to say to the sons and daughters of God today, “I am the Lord, I do not change” (Malachi 3:6). “You are the same” (Psalm 102:27).

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the God of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (Exodus 3:15; Acts 3:13). The God of “the fathers” of Israel is God the Father of all who trust in You (Romans 9:5; John 1:12). “For (we) are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:26). You’re my God and the Creator, Lord, and rightful God of every person You’ve created in this world, whether they have yet to realize it or not, whether they have yet to embrace Your revelation of Your identity to them or not, whether they still worship false gods or not, whether they are still blinded and bound by a false religion or not. 

You are the One True God (John 17:3), the “Living and True God” (1 Thessalonians 1:9). And there is no other:

“I am the Lord, and there is no other;
There is no God besides Me.
I will gird you, though you have not known Me,
That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting
That there is none besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other” (Isaiah 45:5-7).

Lord! Lord! Lord! Give us eyes to see and ears to hear (Ezekiel 12:2; Ephesians 1:18). Give us hearts to receive Your truth and embrace Your love (Ezekiel 36:26; Titus 3:5). 

You are so “longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9). You’re the God who always and forever, in the Old Testament and the New Testament, in our hearts and in all the world “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Timothy 2:4). “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

You are “the Everlasting God” (Genesis 21:33; Romans 16:26). And You want Your “everlasting life” for us all (Daniel 12:2; John 3:16).

That’s Your will and will always be Your will. That’s Your heart and will always be Your heart:

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; 
    His mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
    great is Your faithfulness” (Lamentations 3:22-23 ESV).

You are the same God. And want that same heart in us—a heart that turns to You in faith, that opens to You in surrender, that sees You for who You are, that embraces the everlasting life You have for us.

To You, I say, “Yes, Lord.” And I pray the same for every soul You dearly love and literally died to save through Jesus Christ. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
