different." (My head probably tilted kind of like my dog's...)
That is like God in a way: A paradox. A contradiction. Always the
same. Always different. He never changes, and yet, the way He
interacts with us always changes--with circumstances, our level of
maturity, what we know (or need to know), timing, etc.
As long as our hope and faith remain anchored in Him, our
relationship with Him will always be the same, even as it changes.
Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very
clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an
oath. God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it
is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the
hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as
an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner
sanctuary behind the curtain (Heb 6:17-19 NIV)
