“One Thing You Can Count On!”
By Zach Wood
Hebrews 13:8 NIV
Jesus Christ is the
same yesterday and today and forever.
As I drive to and from work each day, one thing I take
notice of is the gas prices. I like to
keep an eye on them often. As we drive
around from town to town and going various places, I often do the same. I like to keep an eye on where gas may be the
cheapest and it’s just interesting to see the fluctuation of prices.
As I was driving home today from work, I chuckled and
thought to myself, “Wow, these gas prices
just fluctuate constantly!” And they
do, often. I thought about how so many
things around us each day change from one moment to the next. It seems we cannot find anything these days
that stays the same. Things are
constantly changing and it’s very hard to keep up with.
I don’t mind sometimes when things change, but I do like
consistency in many things. It’s nice to
know when some things will remain the same and kind of creates a comfort zone,
so to speak. As I continued thinking
through these thoughts, I thought about how crazy things are in the world with
a continuous cycle of change. It really
does seem things are constantly changing and it just doesn’t provide a feeling
of security. Technology is one of the
biggest things that change. What’s new
one day is old and obsolete in no time!
Crazy!
I am so very thankful to know that God never changes. No matter what is going on each day of my
life, I can count on the fact that God’s love will always remain within
me. He will never love me less and I
don’t have to do anything to make Him love me more. His faithfulness is always present. I never have to be concerned that He will
abandon me. He is always there. When I’m having a bad day at work or at home,
He’s always there to comfort me.
There is such a comforting feeling to knowing that God
remains the same no matter what is going on around me. I don’t have to worry about His love and
faithfulness fading away. With all the
changes that happen around me daily, it’s a peaceful feeling knowing that I can
rest in His presence.
I hope you can be comforted today knowing that God loves you
no matter what. With all that changes
around you, His love won’t abandon you and He will remain faithful in the
coming days. Rest assured you can count
on God’s love to pour out on you every day of your life.
One thing you and I can always count on is the great love
and faithfulness of God!
