The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same

He has traveled thousands of miles in the last 21 days, and visited two continents, but we will meet again within 50 yards of the same location where we were last together. Perhaps you have had the same phenomena happen in an airport. This demonstrates that movement, progress, and time do not always lead to change.

We consider this bad because we think a lack of change always results in stagnation, but this is not completely true. My children will always be my children, much changes, but one thing doesn’t they are always my children. The relationship is not stagnant because of this constant. The constant is a strength.

My relationship with God is always developing, moving, waning or flourishing, but it never changes in regard to God’s commitment to keeping me. For all the growth that comes with years of walking with God I am still completely dependent upon His grace to forgive, sustain, and keep me. Sometimes we act as though we are less in need of God’s forgiving power or providing grace, because we are so “grown up” after all these years. Don’t let yourself be fooled by the movements of life you still completely need God, and He is still completely willing to act on your behalf.

This is why we can never earn our salvation, because it was never for sale. It has always been a gift and forever will be. He has made up His mind and if you think you can change that well, all I can say is “Don’t go there!” He is the same, yesterday today and forever. Some things for our good don’t change!
