It is amazing how quickly things seem to change in our world and in our very lives today. We don't always like change. Sometimes just thinking about things changing can bring a sense of dread. Things do change however. Sometimes things change for the better, but they can also can change for the worse.
I live in Northern Maine. I know all about change. I looked out my back door today and I can see some of the leaves on a tree in my backyard starting to turn orange. They have been green all summer long, but now as we start heading towards fall they are starting to change. I don't mind fall, but I know that fall won't stick around very long either. Fall will change into winter. There will be snow and cold weather, but I am thankful to know that too will change after seven months (it will feel that long) then spring will eventually come again.
There are other things that change around us all the time. Time changes. Our Nation is changing and not in a good way. Our World is changing. There seems to be a darkness closing in all around us these days. Times are tough. Troubles seem to be all around us. There is a sense of hopelessness in peoples hearts and lives. There seems to be a lot of anger and a lack of love.
Times they are a changing. We seem to be heading fast towards the coming of the Lord Jesus. He is coming back very soon. I am thankful that we who have trusted in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior don't have to worry about all the changes that are going on all around us because we know the One who never changes. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. God never changes. He is the just judge. He is an Awesome Loving God. He is rich in Mercy. He will judge the world. We will all answer to Him when everything is said and done.
There is good news though. We know that all have sinned and fallen short of God's high standards. We know that nothing unclean and sinful can enter God's presence. We are all deserving of eternal separation from God, but God out of His great love for each of us made a way for us to have forgiveness of our sins and an eternal home in Heaven with Him when we leave this world.
God sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die on the Cross for our sins and whoever calls on the name of the Lord Jesus will be saved. We must come to the Lord in faith and trust in Jesus finished work on the Cross for our sins. There is no other way into Heaven. There is no other God. There is only the GOD of the Holy Bible. He alone is GOD.
We must come to God through His Son, Jesus Christ to find forgiveness of our sins and have the promise of eternal life with Him. People need the Lord this very day. Things are changing fast. We may not live to see another day.
There needs to be a call to repentance and a turning to the Lord. God can change your life, but only if you come to Him in faith. We must come to Him on His terms and not ours.
Come to the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation. Repent of your sins and turn to Him if you haven't done so already. Time is running out. Change is happening and you need Jesus.
He is the only One who can save you and I.
If you are trusting in Him then I would encourage you to keep loving Him with all of your heart, mind, body, and soul. Read the Bible and spend time with Him and worship Him. Trust the Lord to be there with you each step of the way. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you and direct you each step of the way.
Let us cling to the Lord Jesus, the One who never changes.
Lord,
Thank You that You never change.
Thank You for Your goodness and Your mercy.
Bless us this day and may our eyes be set upon You.
In Jesus name,
Amen.
