Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
This world is predictable: it changes. Things grow and things die Seasons come and seasons go. No matter what else we know about this life, we can be certain that the things that are today will somehow change tomorrow. But in the midst of the world where everything swirls and changes like shifting sands, we can rest on the reality that our God is always the same.
Scripture reminds us that God is not like man, always changing His mind. God is not fickle, flip flopping back and forth between things. Instead, we know that God is eternal, God is faithful, God is forever the same. What God promised thousands of years ago, He still promises today and still makes good on. How God interacted with His people over the course of history is the same way that He interacts with His people today. God is always who He says He is and is always doing that which He has promised He would do.
This is such good news for you and me. When health turns to sickness, or when youthfulness turns to gray haired wisdom, or when a certain task for a certain season comes to an end, we can all know that God is still the same. God is still saving and God is still showing His glory. Because God is always and forevermore the same, He is still sanctifying people, providing for people, changing people and pouring out His love and kindness.
So if this week something that has changed seems to have rocked your world and you wonder where the anchor is for your soul, remember Jesus. He is always the same. We can always depend on Him. He never leaves nor forsakes. Let us stand upon Christ Jesus the firm foundation and rock of our soul!
Hebrews 6:19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast.
