The leaves on the trees are changing colors as we enter the autumn season here in Northern Maine. The trees during the summer months where I live were bright green and lovely this year. The weather was warm and nice, but there hasn't been too much rain as of late. Now as we enter fall we can sense the change in the air.
I am blessed to live in an area where we get to enjoy ( or complain about) each of the four seasons. We have Spring (mud season some call it), Summer (which is way too short), Fall or Autumn, and a very long, dark, cold, snow filled Winter (which seems to last for about 7 months so it seems anyway). We are all used to change in our world, but sometimes we just don't like it.
There is one thing that we all know all too well is that nothing stays the same for long in our world. Things change. The weather changes. The seasons change. Everything seems to change. Sometimes change can be hard. There are times we must change jobs and that might not be easy. Sometimes our family changes with the loss of a loved one.
Our world is full of things that change. I am thankful that there is One that doesn't ever change. The Lord never changes. The Lord Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. I am glad that I know the God who never changes and I am thankful to be known by Him through Jesus Christ.
There will be challenges and trials that we each must go through. There will be tears and sorrow. There will be change in our lives. Some change will bring great blessings and other changes will shake us to our core. We must remember the One who changes not.
Our God is a Mighty God. He is the true living God. The Lord is the beginning and the end. We can count on the Lord to always be there for us in those times of change. The Lord promises never to leave us and He will never forsake us. We can trust Him for He is faithful.
Lord,
We thank You that You never change even when everything around us does.
We praise Your Name.
Help us to draw nearer to You.
Create in us a hunger for Your Word.
Lead us and guide us by Your Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
