Stability.
It's something we crave. As parents, it's something you want to be for your children. Through your marriage, your parenting/guidance, and as a provider. It's a goal for me to be for my children. Sometimes, because of circumstances or because we are just human, stability can be pulled right from under our feet. We aren't promised tomorrow, we aren't even promised today. We can make plans, but God sometimes has something else in store for us. We are ever-changing. Simply floaters. We have no control. We like to think we do, for some reason the idea of stability in our hands seems comforting. But think about it... Would you rather rest assure that you are putting your faith in something bigger? I sure would. I know myself. I can be a failure. I can stumble. I can fall. I would just rather put my plans and faith in God. He's in control of them after all. My devotion this morning was about a God that never changes.
"For I am The Lord, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob." Malachi 3:6.
Things may change frequently in our lives, but God doesn't. He never has, never will. We are promised this. (Hebrews 13:8) how comforting is that? Sometimes life brings absolute chaos, but in the midst of this God is still our rock. Just like when Jesus was in the boat during a storm with the disciples. As the waves were crashing around them - Jesus was asleep. I know I would be just like those disciples and would have been terrified, but Jesus simply woke up and calmed the storm. We have that same Christ, and even those same storms. Why worry? So thankful this morning for my stability, my rock. God is good all the time. All the time God is good.
