You may be asking why I changed my plan. Do you think I make my plans carelessly? Do you think I am like people of the world who say “Yes” when they really mean “No”?
– 2 Corinthians 1:17(NLT)
GOD ISN’T FICKLE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Some people change their minds often
They can be indecisive and not open
Humans make choices out of their comfort zones
God sees all and decides without hesitation.
God isn’t fickle like most people
He doesn’t waver, he is faithful
He means what he says and follows through
He never goes against his nature and the truth.

The hardest thing to deal with is to be with an indecisive and inconsistent person. I once lived with someone who never wanted to make any decisions about things. When you ask him, he never gives you a straight answer. “I don’t know yet” or “We will see” are the replies I usually get from him. Because I was in a relationship with him, it was very hard to make plans because he wouldn’t want to get involved in it. I think he feared that his time will be compromised when he commits to something. He just wanted it all for his convenience. When he finally gives an answer and sees that someone is benefitting, he would take it back. The bible describes God as a very decisive and consistent person.
