God's immutability is firmly established by biblical passages like these. God has not changed. He is not growing old, and his power is not waning.
As I sought to strengthen my prayer life, I studied passages like these. I didn't want simply to agree with the doctrine of God 's omnipotence (I already did that) I wanted to own it, which is a different matter all together. I wanted to be able to say, I don't care what other people think. I don't care about scholar's opinions I believe that God has shown his omnipotence in history.
But it's one thing to own the doctrine of God's omnipotence in history; it's quite another to own the doctrine of his omnipotence today, in my hometown, over my problems and concerns. To believe this, I must believe that God does not change, that he is immutable.
