Change The Subject!
"Changes and war
are ever with me."
Job 10:
17
Change is necessary, helpful, and sometimes stressful.
Moving to a new home. Starting school. Getting married.
Becoming widowed. Being fired. Being hired. Facing a
change in pastor at your church or boss in your office.
Changes of health are particularly worrisome.
We’re told we must change with the times, but
what if the times are changing for the worse?
We feel like Job: “Changes and war are ever
with me.”
If you feel that way now, change the subject
in your mind and turn toward God’s Word:
“For I am the Lord, I do not change”
(Malachi
3:6).
“The heavens will perish, but You remain like
a cloak You will fold them up, and they will be
changed. But You are the same, and Your years
will not fail” (Hebrews 1:11-12). “Jesus Christ
is the same yesterday, today, and forever”
(Hebrews 13:8).
When change comes in your life, cling to our
unchanging God. Focus on His steady, fixed,
inalterable, invariable love, grace, power,
holiness, and infinite nature.
"Our changing years affect not
Him with
Whom one day is as a thousand years and
a thousand years as one day: Who is
the
same yesterday, and today, and forever.
In a changing world, let us rejoice
in
this unchangeableness."
Horatius Bonar
