There are very few things that don't change in life. People grow up, families grow bigger, people gain new perspectives, jobs change, homes change, places change, and you get the idea. Really, there's not much that doesn't change.
In the Bible Solomon, the king who asked God for wisdom, writes in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8:
"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under
the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time
to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time
to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a
time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to
gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from
embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to
cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a
time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of
peace."
These verses state many things that do change. It is difficult to deal with
change. We tend to be creatures of habit. We like routine. We like it when
things stay the same. However, that doesn't happen. Without change, there can
be no growth. Without change there are no seasons, holidays, relationships,
etc. Change is vital to life, even if it is difficult.
Now, with all that being said, there is one thing, one person, that doesn't
change. Hebrews 13:8 says: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today
and forever." God's love for us doesn't change. God loved us enough to
send his son to die for us so that we could have a relationship with him. He
walks with us and helps us grow in seasons of change. That's why, when things
do change, we can be confident that we have someone who walks with us.So, why can you be confident in seasons of change? Will you choose to walk with God no matter what?
