"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." - Hebrews 13:8
"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever." – Isaiah 40:8
If you watch news media outlets, you are confronted with conflicting narratives. You watch or read from one source, and you are given one set of apparent “facts”. You watch or read from another source, and you are given a different set of apparent “facts”. You think to yourself, “Who is right? What is right? What is wrong?” Well, in a world where truth seems increasingly relative and facts are constantly debated, isn't it comforting to know there's something that never changes? While social media feeds and news outlets might present conflicting narratives, God's Word stands firm and unchanging. This isn't just about having a stable reference point - it's about having an anchor for our souls. When everything around us seems to shift like sand, God's truth remains solid ground. His promises, His character, and His love for us are constants we can build our lives upon.
Reflection Question - In what ways have you seen God's unchanging nature provide stability in your life during times of uncertainty?
Lord, thank You for being my unchanging foundation in a changing world. Help me anchor myself on Your truth rather than the shifting sands of cultural opinions. Give me discernment to recognize Your unchanging voice amid the noise. In Jesus' Name, amen.
