I looked about, watching the trees gently sway in the breeze. It was a beautiful day for hiking, and we were at one of my favorite hiking places--Shawnee Lookout. A creaking sound caught my attention, and I noticed that one of the trees was creaking and swaying more than the others. The wind was strong, I guessed the tree must have been unstable. I instantly thought of how unstable everything in our world is--always changing, never constant.
In our ever changing, unstable, often pretty scary world, it's hard to find comfort in a lot of things. Just as you're getting used to something, it changes. And I don't know about you, but I don't like change at all. The encouraging thing is that there are two things that never change--God, and His Word. Isaiah 40:8 reads, "The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever." The God you read about in the Bible is the same God as today. He hasn't ever changed, and He won't ever change. There's nothing you can fully rely on but God. Things around you will change, people will go in and out of your life, you'll endure different challenges, but God will never change. He will always be there for you, waiting for you to turn to Him.
