Changes

Well, it seems that although we have enjoyed a distinctive fall, it is not lasting long. When the temperature dips below freezing, we call that winter here in Montgomery. Christmas decorations have been out in stores since Halloween and I was greeted by Santa Claus at Publix last night. Constant change. These specific changes happen routinely year after year. We can pretty much depend on them.

Life changes come on a regular and irregular basis. Some of these changes are welcomed (the birth of a baby) and some are not, and even dreaded (death of a loved one, financial loss). How thankful I am that through all these changes and the effects they have on our lives, our God remains constant. Hebrews 13:8 tells us "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever". In Lamentations 3:22-23 we read, "The Lord's lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness."

Just as we know that we can depend on the seasons changing, we know that we can depend on the constancy of our great God, His faithfulness, and daily mercies. He will take us through these life changes for His glory and our sanctification. Praise be to Him forevermore!
