Temperatures are slowly beginning to drop here in north Alabama, and this Gulf Coast native is excited to experience a true autumn season! Where I am from, we often joke about the seasons (or lack thereof) along the Gulf Coast, where summer lasts until November, followed by a few rainy coldsnaps in January and February, until March sees the arrival of summer again! Nonetheless, the seasons change, as do most other things in life. However, there is one constant in our universe, and that is God. Consider what God said to the prophet Malachi so many years ago: “For I am the LORD, I change not” (Mal. 3:6). Likewise, the book of Hebrews tells just that Jesus is “the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Heb. 13:8).
While change is sometimes good, there is no doubt that too much change too quickly can be overwhelming and frightening. In those times, when it seems the world is spinning too rapidly and the sands are shifting beneath our feet, it is important for us to look unto our Mighty God and His Son Jesus Christ, who never change and are never influenced by changing circumstances or seasons. He is a constant force of love, mercy, forgiveness, and grace, extended to all who would believe.
