Unchanging God (Everlasting)


The inspiration for this song is the word "Elohim" and "El Olam".

Bible.org describes that in the Hebrew language, the plural form of EL means the "strong one." It is used to name false gods, but when used of the true God, it is a plural of majesty and intimates the trinity. It is especially used of God's sovereignty, creative work, mighty work for Israel and in relation to His sovereignty (Isa. 54:5; Jer. 32:27; Gen. 1:1; Isa. 45:18; Deut. 5:23; 8:15; Ps. 68:7).

One of the compunds of El is El Olam, meaning "The Everlasting God." It emphasizes God's unchangeableness and is connected with His inexhaustibleness (Gen. 16:13).

This song is simply and plainly about who God is: His greatness. His Rule.

The Easy Way Out

GCF Youth L.I.V.E.'s #Prayer247
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. -Proverbs 3:5-6 

We just have to have it our way... because in the end, its all about us. We claim that life presents us with circumstances that enable us to make decisions based on what feels right, what seems logical. We feel we have been left with no other choice but to simply take what we think is the 'best' option available. But our view in life can be at times clouded by fear, dampened by doubt, covered by hurt, shattered by pain... numbed by sin. It distorts our view on being able to make a Godly decision. Consider and see what God has to say in the matter through prayer, through counsel of Godly, mature people and finally through his word, the Bible. Run to him. Ask him. Wait on him. Because faithful men and women will not rely on themselves. They rely and trust on God who provides a way to those who faithfully ask from him.
