"The World is Ever Changing..."

I have fond memories of the song “Order My Steps.”  As a youth praise dancer, we used to dance to this song.  And I remember that the Mass Choir would sing it often… and Ms. Ojetta would flawlessly hit every note every time.  One of my favorite lines of this song came to mind today in my quiet time when I starting meditating on Hebrews 13:8 that says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”   My favorite line in that whole song is “The world is ever changing, but YOU are still the same!” 

Things are always changing.  Attitudes.  Gas prices.  Emotions.  Friendships.  Relationships.  Dress sizes.  Hair styles.

Always changing… and while those changes may not be that serious, sometimes change can be.  Change like a diagnosis.  A verdict.  A foreclosure.  A job loss.  Or the loss of a loved one…  These changes can be easy for some and traumatic for others.  But, I stand encouraged and hoping to encourage you that even as things around us change, Jesus Christ is the same and He will not change.  One song writer says, “There is no shadow of turning with thee.” 

If Jesus doesn’t change, then 

1) His love is unfailing – He will never get tired of loving you!  
2)  His faithfulness is unwavering – there’s nothing that would change God’s commitment to love and pursue His children!
3) His promises are unending – credit decisions expire, store sales will end, but God’s promises never do… if He said it, He’ll do it!  There’s no expiration date on God’s promises. J   

We can remain confident in God’s love, faithfulness and promises to keep us as we ride the waves of life.
