time

It's been awhile since I posted. Sorry about that. Isn't it amazing how life can go? Somtimes up, sometimes down, but never the same. Life is in a constant state of change. It gets old, though, doesn't it. Don't you wish that everything could just stay the same for any kind of time period.

How can we build faith in this type of environment? How can measure transformation with the standard is always changing? I have to admit that I don't always know the answer to that question.

Immutable. That's the word that may bring us hope. It means unchanging, without turning or shadow. Standard. Consistent. That's God, you know. God is unchanging. Even though our lives are in perpetual flux, action-reaction, adjustment-clarification-adjustment, God stands above it all. He is the standard, He is the constant in the equation. The biblical authors called Him a rock, a refuge, and a fortress. When the change is overwhelming, even when our own inconsistencies dominate our existence, we can look to Him, "yesterday, today, and forever." Because He is constant, we can believe Paul when he says that "God works all things together for those who are in Christ Jesus."

Look to Him, He hasn't gone anywhere, He's right there where I left Him, in control, a sovereign ruler.
