Shifting Changes

It's all going to change. Every part of it... never to be the same. Tomorrow will look nothing like today because today will be gone forever. Nothing stays the same...ever. You will realize just how precious the time we've been given is right before you realize its almost over.

And sure, things might look the same for a while. Maybe all of the scenery hasn't changed or some of the same players are in the game. Only the rules of the game are far different now. The once so familiar sights are seen with new perspective and different light. The actors in the play now operate in completely different roles. So while things might be the same... things are still very, very different.

But is that all bad? Not necessarily. No, these constant change and shuffle only goes to prove the Sovereignty of God- that even though things around us might constantly be shifting in and out of focus, Jehovah promises to always be consistent. He is our Rock that will not shift or change- the stability we need in a world where everything is constantly shifting and in motion.

When the world rocks around you and it looks like things are crashing down... where else can we turn to? Trusting in God doesn't make the tears sting any less as they cascade down your cheek. It doesn't make the churching in your stomach dissipate as you watch your world crumble around you. No, it doesn't save us from our own emotions- it teaches us to trust in something so much more powerful than our emotions could ever be! It reminds us that Christ suffered emotional highs and lows during His time here ... And that His sole source of strength came from trusting in the Father.
