Clinging To Our Unchanging Lord

Here we are at the end of another year and soon a new year will begin.  We don't know what the immediate future holds for us or for this world.  The years seem to fly by at a lightening pace and it does seem to go faster the longer we live here on this earth.  Many things have changed over the years and even during this past year which is about to draw to a close.

We know that change is a constant thing that happens.  Everything we see around us changes.  We don't always like change.  Some changes are uncomfortable and some changes are hard to get used to.  Sometimes change is necessary.

Thankfully, there is One that never changes.  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever more.  When our lives are troubled and we are rocked by a storm we can have great confidence that the Lord is with us and He will give us a peace in our hearts that surpasses all understanding.

The world is a very uncertain and dangerous place.  We live in an increasingly dark world where people are doing what is right in their own eyes.  The world is calling things evil that are actually good and the world is calling things that are evil good.  We are living in perilous times indeed and things will grow even darker until the Lord Jesus Christ returns at  His Second Coming.

We believers in Jesus Christ must stand firm upon the truth of God's Holy Word and cling to our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.  The Lord never changes and He is a constant help in our time of need.  When things change and things seem dark we must remind ourselves that we have a wonderful living hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We also need to remember that this world is not our home and we also need to remember that there is more to come after our life here on earth is finished.  If we are trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we know that when we pass from this world in death we then will be taken to Heaven where we will be with the Lord forever.

Things will indeed change here on earth.  Some change will be good and some change won't be so good.  We can count on God never to change and we can count on the Lord to be there for us wherever we are and whatever trial we are going through.

Lord,
We thank You for not changing.
You are always true to Your Holy Word.
We praise Your Name.
Lead us and guide us into all truth through Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
