You remain the same, and
your years will never end.
—Hebrews 1:12
No one has to tell you that we live in a changing world because you’ve faced changes that are personal and painful: health issues, fractured relationships, deaths of those you love.
But there’s another verse to that song: some things are dependable and changeless.
For instance, the sun hasn’t changed its rising and setting pattern since the day you were born; it’s something you can count on.
Go outside tonight, stare at the stars, and think about this—your father and grandfather gazed at the same stars. So did Jesus. And Moses. And Abraham.
And then there is God your Father and Christ your Savior—changeless: “The same yesterday and today and forever” (Heb 13:8). “From everlasting to everlasting” (Ps 90:2).
Cope with the changing
by holding tight to the changeless.
