God's Constancy in our Ever Changing World

As I watched my dog play in the backyard in mid-fifty degree weather today, I couldn’t help but reflect on the crazy weather changes we’ve been having. Just yesterday I had been watching snowflakes steadily race each other to the ground, and today I was nudging my bare feet against the soft ground. It’s crazy how fast weather can change, but that’s definitely not all that changes.

Changes are constantly happening. In weather, jobs, economy, health, politics, money, relationships, school, safety--you name it, it’s changing. We live in an ever-changing world whether we like it or not.

As human beings, most of us don’t like change. There’s something unsettling about having to learn a new way of doing something, no matter how small the change is. It seems like by the time we finally get used to the change, it changes all over again.

In this ever-changing world, I love that fact that God never changes. Malachi 3:6 says, “For I the LORD do not change; therefore you, O children of Jacob, are not consumed.” No matter what we’re going through in life, no matter how many things are changing at once, we can rely on Him to remain a constant. He remains the same. Always.
