I am unique
According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, unique means the only one of its kind.
Psalm 139:4 in the King James Version of the Bible says "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made: your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
The New Living Translation says Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous - how well I know The human body is made up of many systems that work together, the cardiovascular, muscular, digestive, immune, hormonal, eyes, nose, tongue and mouth, and the brain. All of these things (and more) combine to make each person who they are. Each person is unique.

Sanballat a comparison of then and now
“Sanballat the Horonite…” is the enemy we would expect. He’s from the outside. He was a pagan Moabite. He was also from the government, but he wasn’t there to help Nehemiah. The Moabites were one of the groups that God’s people ran out of the Promised Land. Moabites like Sanballat worshiped Chemosh an idol who required the sacrifice of little babies. Sanballat would have also worshipped Baal-Peor, which required all manner of sexual immorality, but above all else, homosexual acts were the primary sacrament. It shouldn’t surprise us one bit that a government official like Sanballat would oppose the building project for the glory of the One True God. Sanballat’s spiritual life was devoted to the sacrifice of babies and to sexual immorality, especially homosexuality, and God forbids all of it!
And that’s true history. But is there some relevant parallel for us to apply? Does Sanballat’s spiritual heritage of baby killing and sexual immorality have any importance for us today? I’ll leave that to be settled between you and the Holy Spirit, but I ask you: Can you think of another time and another place where God and His people are being opposed by pagan government officials who enthusiastically support the bloody sacrifice of countless little babies and are who are exalting sexual immorality – especially homosexuality – with religious zeal? Can you think of another government that, like the Sanballat administration, is trying to persecute those who follow a God who believes in the sanctity of human life and sexual purity? Any of this ringing a bell at all?

Hebrews 13:8
This verse means that God never changes. He is the beginning of things and He is the end of all things. He set every detail of life when He created this world and it will not change because God can not lie. Malachi 3:6 says " For I am the LORD, I change not; Therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed." Revelation 1:17-18 says "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not: I am the first and last:" " I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
