Before today’s blog, I have used the word “change” (in one form or another) 127 times in the 300 blogs I have written. Change has been such an important part of this journey for me. There have been physical changes, for sure. Anyone can look at my progressive pictures and see the physical changes. There have been emotional changes, or at least a change in how I deal with emotions. And there have been mental changes, as well, as I examine my relationship with food, and deliberately choose to alter my thought process and my behavior. And that doesn’t count the increased activity, fewer medications, and overall improvement in my health.
Amidst all the change in my life – it is comforting to have SOMEONE who is constant:
“He rescues me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me. God, who is enthroned from of old, who does not change—he will hear them and humble them, because they have no fear of God.” (Psalm 55:18-20, NIV)
“I the LORD do not change.” (Malachi 3:6, NIV)
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (James 1:16-18, NIV)
Here’s to change – when it is necessary, but also to God who is always faithful – and NEVER changes!
