Our Father Does Not

I don't know about you but our lives seem to be an endless flow of changes. Of course, with a soon to be 7 year old and a soon to be 6 year old, we see the grow almost overnight. It is amazing at how rapidly they are changing: getting taller, enlarging vocabularies, etc.

For Trish and me, of course, there are changes. As we get a little older, the endurance that we once had seems to be harder to find. Aches and pains that we used to not know are very well known. There have been job changes, address changes, even church changes. It seems, as I said, that something is always changing.

Today's word is two parts: Malachi 3:6a, NLT, and a quote I came across. So, Malachi 3:6a, NLT, reads, "I am the LORD, and I do not change." And, the quote by Bradley Paul is "Just know that when life changes, GOD never changes."

So, no matter the changes that may be going on in your life right now, no matter how uncomfortable and unsettling they may seem, just know that the same loving, caring, eternal, all-knowing GOD of yesterday is the same loving, caring, eternal all-knowing GOD of today. He knows what the future holds, knows what we are going to need to overcome the obstacles that may arise, and knows how to see us safely through.

Life is inevitably and constantly changing, and there is really no way to stop it. However, we also know that our GOD is working all things for our good, and that HE NEVER CHANGES. We can rest safely and securely in the fact that while everything around us may be changing, our Father does not.

Be Blessed,
