God Doesn't Change

<p>Things change here on earth so quickly. Your parents get divorced and suddenly you’re living in two homes. Your grandparent moves</p><p>into an assisted living community and no longer has the yard that they used to have. Your sibling graduates from high school and joins the military. You gain and lose people in your life as you grow</p><p>up. You have new opportunities and spend time in new places. You never quite know what a day is going to bring or what changes you are going to have to face.</p><p>.</p><p>Change can be hard. It can be scary. But it’s good to remember that even as this world changes and we feel tossed around by all that’s happening around us, God never changes.</p><p>.</p><p>In all times and circumstances, God is good. He loves us with an unending love. He is always there for us, even when we feel alone. While the world seems to move all around us, God remains constant. In Isaiah 54:10, the prophet records God’s words: “‘For the mountains may move and the hills disappear, but even then my faithful love for you will remain. My covenant of blessing will never be broken,’ says the Lord, who has mercy on you.”</p><p>.</p><p>The leader of a country might change, but God doesn’t. The place where you lay down to sleep at night might change, but God doesn’t. Your parent might get into a new relationship, change their job, or change their appearance, but God stays the same. You can count on God to always be who He has revealed Himself to be, no matter how this world changes. • Emily Acker</p><p>.</p><p>• Throughout our lives, we go through lots of changes, whether they be related to school, home life, relationships, or the overall state of the world. How can relying on God’s unchanging love make it easier for us to go through all kinds of changes? </p><p>.</p><p>• Is someone in your life going through a difficult change right now? How could you share God’s love with them? Consider taking a moment to pray for this person and see if any ideas come to mind. </p><p>.</p><p>Jesus Christ is the same yesterd
