Change

Why is it that as the summer ends we long for winter?  Or as the winter months drag on we long for the kiss of the summer sun.  Is it that we long for change?  For if we do not change, what are we? We long for things to stay the same, but in the same breath we wish they would change.  Change happens, there is nothing we can do to stop it, slow it down, or speed it up.  Change happens.  Some change is much sought after, others is uncomfortable.  We have been changing since our very conception in the womb and will continue to change until the day we die.  This is simply called aging.  Other changes like the weather or seasons come and there is nothing that we can do to stop it.  Other changes come that are caused by others, and this is what fears us the most.  But not all of this type of change is bad.  If others did not change us when we were infants we would still stink!  If others did not push us to change in the educational realm we would be stupid.  If others still did not push us in other areas we would not grow.  Change is a huge part of life, but we fear what that change may bring.

Of the things that change in our life there is one thing that we know God doesn't change, He brings about the change of others.  He is the one true anchor of the universe the Bible says He is the same yesterday, today and forever more, and in times of change it is Him who we must put our trust. Even when the hard times come-especially when the hard times come-we must put our trust in Him to be our constant during our times of change.
