The concept of "ever-changing" is not directly mentioned in the Bible, but the idea can be explored through the lens of the transient nature of the world and the constancy of God. The Bible often contrasts the mutable nature of creation with the immutable nature of the Creator.

Transience of Creation

The Bible frequently acknowledges the ever-changing nature of the world and human life. In Ecclesiastes 3:1, it is written, "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven." This passage highlights the cyclical and changing nature of life, where different seasons bring about different experiences and challenges. The world is in a constant state of flux, as seen in the changing of the seasons, the rise and fall of nations, and the life and death of individuals.

James 4:14 further emphasizes the fleeting nature of human life: "You do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." This verse underscores the temporary and unpredictable nature of human existence, reminding believers of the importance of living with an eternal perspective.

Constancy of God

In contrast to the ever-changing world, the Bible presents God as unchanging and eternal. Malachi 3:6 declares, "For I, the LORD, do not change; therefore you, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed." This verse reassures believers of God's steadfastness and faithfulness, providing a foundation of stability amidst the uncertainties of life.

Hebrews 13:8 affirms the unchanging nature of Jesus Christ: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." This consistency offers believers a reliable anchor in a world that is constantly shifting. The unchanging nature of God is a source of comfort and hope, as His promises and character remain constant throughout time.

God's Sovereignty Over Change

While the world is ever-changing, the Bible teaches that God is sovereign over all changes. Isaiah 46:9-10 states, "Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me. I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, 'My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.'" This passage highlights God's control over history and His ability to bring about His purposes despite the changes in the world.

Romans 8:28 provides further assurance: "And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose." This verse reassures believers that even amidst change and uncertainty, God is orchestrating events for their ultimate good.

Human Response to Change

The Bible encourages believers to respond to the ever-changing nature of life with faith and trust in God. Proverbs 3:5-6 advises, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight." This counsel urges believers to rely on God's wisdom and guidance rather than their own understanding, especially in times of change.

Philippians 4:6-7 offers further guidance: "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." This passage encourages believers to bring their concerns about change to God in prayer, promising divine peace in return.

In summary, while the world and human life are characterized by constant change, the Bible presents God as the unchanging foundation upon which believers can rely. His sovereignty and faithfulness provide assurance and guidance in navigating the ever-changing circumstances of life.
