Our Unchangeable God

I hear from people far and wide who are nervous, anxious, fearful, worried about world events.  Certainly unsettling things are taking place in our world.....things that we would have never dreamed of happening.  The concerning feelings are understandable.  I, too, have had moments of feeling vulnerable.

If ever there were a time to keep our eyes on the Lord, it's certainly now!!  The world as we know it is changing.  But we serve an unchangeable God.  He is our Rock, our sure foundation.  He will carry us through the changes.  People and institutions may fail us, but God won't.  He is constant and unfailing.

When I think back to all the ways God has helped me in the recent difficult years with Floyd's illness, my cancer, some family crisis's, and ministry emergencies - all I can do is praise and thank the Lord for His mercy, grace, and help.  He has carried me through everything!  Nothing caused Him to waver.  Nothing shook Him up!  He helped me time and time again.

When we face uncertainty in these current days of change - it's good to look back and remember how God has helped us in the past.  It assures us of His help in the present situations!

" 'Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,' says the Lord, who has compassion on you."  Isaiah 54:10

"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me."  Psalm 23:4

"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies.  But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail."  Isaiah 51:6

"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."  Matthew 11:28,29

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail.  They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."  Lamentations 3:22

"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man."  Psalm 118:8

Whatever we read in the news - it's important to balance it with what we read in the Bible!  God is with us.  He will help us in the changing world.  He'll never fail us!
