“Jesus Christ is same yesterday, today, and forever.” Hebrews 13:8

My friend Bridget says winter in Michigan can be challenging.
One day it might be in the 50s with bright sunshine.

The next day a blizzard drops the temperature to a wind-chill factor of 15 (F) below.  BRR!

They say “you know you’re in Michigan when you use your entire wardrobe year ‘round!”

The only thing constant about Michigan weather is change!  (SMILE)

It’s a great reminder that our God never changes!

The Bible reminds us that “Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God the Father…He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.” (James 1:17)

Dear friend, your life can be as unpredictable as the weather — sun on one day and storms the next.

But you can always count on God. He’ll be with you no matter how terrible a storm may get.

And, the Bible says, He never changes.

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:20

It is good that there is One who never changes, and who is always with us. It is good that there is one stable rock standing strong against the crashing waves of the sea of life.

My friend, in times of struggle, don’t trust rusting, moth-eaten, decaying treasures. Instead, set your heart on God, who is forever faithful to you. Don’t build your house on the moving quicksand’s of a deceitful world, but found your hopes on this rock, which, despite shifting sands, will stand immovably secure. Store up your treasure in the only secure cabinet. Store your jewels where you can never lose them. Put everything you own in Christ. Pour your affections on Him alone, all your hope in His merit, all your trust in His Holy blood, and all your joy in His presence. In doing so, you can laugh at loss, and defy destruction.

Remember that all the flowers in the world’s garden fade at the right time. Death’s black extinguisher will eventually put out your candle, ending your life in this world. How sweet it will be to have sunlight when the candle is gone! The dark flood must someday roll between you and all you have. So, wed your heart to Him who will never leave you. Trust yourself with Him who will go with you through the black and surging current of death’s stream, and who will land you safely on the heavenly shore. Then you will sit with Him in heavenly places forever.

If you are experiencing sorrow, tell your troubles to the Friend who sticks closer than anyone else ever could. Trust all your cares to Him who never can be taken from you, who will never leave you, and who will never let you leave Him. Remember that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever” (Hebrews 13:8)

“I am with you always” is enough for me to live on, and enough to sustain me even if all others forsake me.

How does God sustain you in difficult times? Have you been spending regular time in prayer with Him?
