All else in life may shift like variable quantities in those scientific equations, but God’s love for you will remain constant forever.

Science tells us that a universal constant could be a physical constant, which is a quantity generally believed to be both common in nature and constant in time, for example, the speed of light. We use these constants in physics to set a standard as a balance in our equations so that the variables can be accurately adjusted. The variables in equations are the quantities that constantly change. To me, in the equations of life, the variable quantities are the ups and downs we endure, while the constants are God and the principles, purposes and precedents of his word.
1 Chronicles 16:34 (NIV)
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
The ancient writings of the Bible tell us that God is the Creator of the universe, including mankind. It’s not my intention to debate creation vs evolution here, but suffice to say that we all agree that the universe came into existence at one finite point in time. Since then, the whole universe has been in constant variation (probably as a result of the fall of mankind). The question that remains is what existed before that initial creative point? We believe that God has always existed – he is eternal and encompasses the timeline of infinity. The Bible says that God is and was and is to come. That is, he is constantly present. It also says that Jesus (who is God) is the same yesterday, today and forever. In other words, the Lord Almighty is the only true, reliable universal constant in the equations of life.
Do you feel that there are too many variables in your life inhibiting your hope for the future? Do you feel so frustrated with the many ups and downs you’re going through that you don’t know whether you’re coming or going? Are you longing for stability and consistency in your career, your relationships and your peace of mind? Well then, here’s the good news: the Lord your God is your one true constant in life. He is faithful, and his love endures forever. He is dependable, trustworthy and consistent. His love for you endures your hardships, your difficulties, your disappointments and your losses. His love for you bears your frustrations, your failings and your flaws. All else in life may shift like variable quantities in those scientific equations, but God’s love for you will remain constant forever. As Hannah Smith said, “Nothing can separate you from God’s love, absolutely nothing. God is enough for time; God is enough for eternity. God is enough!”
God-tracking is constantly relying on his consistent love.
