And the more things change

There are times we don't appreciate how much change has taken place until someone else comments, or the spinning stops and we can again gain some sense of balance. I think these are common experiences, but not always seen as such. Too often it is easy to say, No one knows what I am going through or have gone through or am about to enter into. Wrong! God not only knows, He is with His children.

And the more things change

And the more things change,
Or have the appearance of changing,
The more grateful I am for the Unchanging One.
As I press "Change" of the "Tools" options,
As we are impressed with coming changes of neighbors,
As we are informed of changes in the lives of friends,
The more grateful I am that the Sovereign God is immutable,
That He is the same yesterday, today, forever,
That He is the same as when He revealed Himself to Adam, and to Noah, and to Moses.
That He is the same as when He revealed Himself to prophet after prohet, priest after priest, generation after generation.
The more temporal changes, the more grateful I am that the Eternal One never will.

What a rock our God is!
He is unlike the rocks we know which are subject to geographical events, to weather events, to wearing down and, finally, away, sand washed grain by grain into the ocean or into the rivers.

Nothing changes Him--no event alters Him, for all events are under His good control.

Nothing challenges Him--no man how powerful he may appear to be can bring down the Sovereign of all.

Nothing--for He is all in all, and in Him, rather, we live and move and have our being.

Comfort!
Rest!
Eternally--
