In this life there is a constant push to change. Life is not static, it is fluid. Here in Upstate New York the seasons regularly change, thankfully! We grow older and our bodies change, maybe not as thankful here. Children become adults and then have children of their own. Careers change, moving from place to place and even from working to retirement. Technology continually advances, regularly leaving us on a steep learning curve to do old things in new ways.
Yet there are some things that necessarily remain unchanged. Most importantly, God Himself - “I the Lord do not change” (Malachi 3:6) and “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like the shifting shadows” (James 1:17). I, for one, am grateful that He is always there. His Word is also constant for our life here on earth. “For you have been born again…through the living and enduring word of God…the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever” (1 Peter 1:23-25). These are a steady presence in changing and uncertain times like these.
So we hold tightly to these and pray we remain faithful. May we continue to strive be healthy followers of Jesus Christ.
