Life is full of change. Loose change, oil changes, diaper changes, etc. When I was young, I loved change. I couldn't wait till next week or next month. I was always looking forward to the next exciting thing on the calendar.
Now, with five kids (did I just say I have five kids?) I don't want things to change so fast. For crying out loud, they were just born and now they're losing their teeth? My wife and I have been married for seven and a half years already? Darling, it doesn't seem like a day has passed.....(I had to slip that in there, just in case she would ever stoop to reading my blog).
Now I wonder, "Will anything stay the same?" Is anything stable enough to last from one year to the next? I can't even keep the same insurance ID cards from one month to the next, it seems.
Jesus Christ is "the same yesterday, and today, and forever". He'll never change. He can't change. He doesn't need to change.
"I am the Lord. I change not, therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed".
