Unchanging in a Changing World
In the Word
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22–23).
Of the Word
In our modern world we pretty much take for granted that things eventually come to an end. Products we once used and liked suddenly are no longer available. Familiar buildings get torn down. In the technology world, phones, computers, and other devices are continually being replaced with something faster and better. Even loving relationships may come to an end.
But our great God never changes! His love never ends! His mercies go on and on and on! He is always faithful and is always with us! Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
God demonstrated His love for us when He gave Jesus as a sacrifice on the cross. By believing in Him we will forever bask in His love in heaven. God loves us so much that He gave us His Holy Spirit to live within us and guide us all of our days. These assurances are to be trusted; they will always stay the same.
A Point to Ponder: I will make time today to meditate on the great love God has for me.
Walking with my Lord
Loving Lord, so many things in my life have changed. I rejoice that You are unchanging — the same today, tomorrow, and forever. In Jesus’ name I give You thanks. Amen.
