I typically will say that I am a fan of change until it happens, then I want it to go back to the way it was before. There are a few instances where I prefer the new over the old, but mostly I just want the old, maybe because I am old.

I think the kind of change I really like is the shiny kind with pictures of dead presidents on it. At least periodically you can take that kind of change to the bank and get cash or make a deposit.

These days more than ever I am thankful for a changeless God. With the culture becoming increasingly chaotic and volatile, I yearn for stability and sameness. I know in this life change is inevitable, but still I want some kind of anchor or cornerstone that won’t move with the shifting sands or turning tides.

I fall back often on the promise that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. I pray that often to remind myself that I still have a firm foundation when everything else seems to give way. That’s my hope and stay as I look to a day when all will be unending joy and peace and love and rest.
