The Same!
Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages). Hebrews 13:8 AMPC
In this very uncertain and constantly changing world, we need some stability in our hearts so we can be all that God intends for us. There have been all sorts of earthly dispensations, and there have been phases in all of life's seasons. Even after the flood of Noah's season, God promised that as long as the earth remains, there would be times and seasons in line with God's divine plan for us.
Yet, tied to all of the seemingly simple rules of nature lies the divine hand of God in all of life's affairs. The world would have you believe that you are the master of your own destiny, and whilst that may ring true in some respect, there is the divine and the unexplained: the God-factor. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself how the earth remains in place without physical foundations? Have you ever asked yourself where God is in the midst of the never-predictable world we live in? Let it be clear today: nothing down here can fully explain the God we are called to trust and obey; you just have to know that no matter the season or the dispensation, nothing about God changes.
He called sin by its name in the days of Adam, and He still calls sin by its name today. His mercies kept the fathers of old, even in their rebellion, and till today, we enjoy the same mercies, in spite of ourselves. And long after we have moved on to eternity, as long as this earth remains, his standards will not be lowered for anyone. If I know this God, I have nothing else to fear. If I know that trusting Him to the end will secure eternal life for me, then I will hold on and press on. He will always come through. His time of favour is here.
