Hello Friends,

As I am watching the weather change and anticipating the coming of Spring, I am reminded that God doesn’t change.  Though I am happy that the weather is changing to warmer weather, longer days, and sunnier times, I know deep within my heart that all of this is just temporary. The seasons will change as God directs and before I am ready it will be colder, windier, and then finally just cold again.  The constant within this truth is that I know things are going to change.  But praise God, the constant with Jesus is that He is constant.  He doesn’t change.

There is great security in knowing that God doesn’t change.  We change, hopefully for the better as we grow closer and closer to God.  We become more of what God intends for us to be as we yield ourselves to His instruction and molding.  But we can be very sure that what God is will always be who He is.  We can depend upon the fact that His character doesn’t change and what He has done He will do.  This is true for what He has done for you, but it is also true that what He has done for others He will do for you.  He is no respecter of persons and loves all the same. 

This is such a valuable truth.  It allows us to know that the lessons learned, and the blessings given, as recorded in the Holy Bible, are also applicable today and to us.  We can learn from the lives of such Biblical heroes as Abraham, Moses, Peter, Paul, and John. We can pattern our lives from the examples of Ruth, Naomi, Esther, Martha, and Mary.  We can find hope by knowing the miracles that Jesus performed like healing the woman with the issue of blood and raising Lazarus from the dead.  We can learn patience and the value of it as we read the account of Noah and the flood. Simply put, every word of the Word, the Bible, is given for our good and His glory.  It is an instructional manual for us to follow.  It tells of God’s great love for us and the amazing sacrifice of Jesus for us.  It reveals the purpose, love and dependability of the Trinity.  It comforts us with the truth that God will never change.  Jesus will always be who the Bible says He will be, and the Holy Spirit will continue to faithfully do His job.

Yep, seasons change and all of us have our opinion about what we think of that fact. But perhaps, the changing of the seasons teaches us the value of an unchanging God.  I know that is what the changing of the seasons have taught me.  Remember you are loved.  Jesus loves you.

In His Service,
