Sunday's Specialty

Malachi 3:6

For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Good morning, and a Special Sunday to each of you!

We live in a world of change. Our lives change daily. We change jobs, cars, and houses on a frequent basis. Yet, in the midst of the changes all about us, there is ONE CONSTANT - Our God - who declared in Malachi's time - "I change not." What a comfort; Someone to hold onto when we cannot seem to handle all the changes around us. 

Last night, as I listened to the beautiful lyrics and melody of "America, America, God shed His grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shining sea", my eyes filled with tears because the America of today is so different from the America of my youth. I am troubled at the changes around me, but my confidence is in the Lord and my hope is in the promise that He is soon to return to catch away His bride!

Since nothing in our lives will last forever, we cannot hold onto anything too tightly. Our God, the Holy One, the Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace is the ONLY ONE we can hold onto. This song, written by Jennie Bain Wilson, was on my mind when I awoke this morning. I sincerely hope it will encourage you:

Verse One

Time is filled with swift transition

Naught of earth unmoved shall stand

Build your hopes on things eternal

Hold to God's unchanging hand

Chorus

Hold to God's unchanging hand

Hold to God's unchanging hand

Build your hopes on things eternal

Hold to God's unchanging hand

Verse Two

Trust in Him who will not leave you

Whatsoever years may bring

If by earthly friends forsaken

Still more closely to Him cling

Verse Three

Covet not this world's vain riches

That so rapidly decay

Seek to gain the heav'nly treasures

They will never pass away

Verse Four

When your journey is completed

If to God you have been true

Fair and bright the home in glory

Your enraptured soul will view

Our God never changes. Who He was in Abraham's day, He remains in 2015. I'm glad I know Him!! Enjoy your day with Him!

Until tomorrow, Lord willing...........
