Some Things Never Change, Thank God!

We live in a culture that seems obsessed with change. Everything is advertised as “new and improved.” Companies change their names (Comcast to Xfinity, Facebook to META, etc.). Obviously changes for the better are welcomed by all. But sometimes it is the lack of change, a steadfastness, consistency, that we can appreciate the most. We all appreciate the unwavering love and support of our family and friends. 

The greatest source of unchanging love and encouragement is found in our faith relationship with God through Jesus Christ His Son. Unlike even our closest human sources, God will never change even if we do, even in the worst of circumstances. Jesus promises He will be with us “always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20b). The love, grace, mercy, and peace of Jesus toward us will never change. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8).

This Thanksgiving season, let’s thank God for His unchanging loving Presence for all who simply trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In a world full of changes, thank God for providing a firm foundation to live our lives!

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.”   (James 1:17)
