In a vault in suburban Paris sits a little lump of metal that is the official “kilo”, the yardstick, the 124 year old standard, from which numerous other measurements are derived. The problem is, it’s getting heavier. Even in the controlled environment, contamination has built up. So various cleaning methods are being tried for even an miniscule change in the Kilo will cause significant problems in the scientific community. But though this standard of measurement and many other earthly standards have changed, the standard of truth has stood through the ages without change. The truth of God’s Word, the Bible will never change. That’s because God Himself never changes. He said, “I am the Lord, I change not.” And of His Son we read, “Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever.” Millions have been blessed by the words in Henry Francis Lyte’s hymn, “Change and decay in all around I see, Oh thou who changest not, abide with me.”
