SCRIPTURE: Hebrews (NIV) 1:10 He [God speaking to Jesus] also says, “In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. 11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. 12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.”
OBSERVATION: In these verses, God is speaking through the author of the book of Hebrews the same thing He said through the apostle in John 1:3 “All things were made by him and without Him was not anything made that was made.”
This work of His hands will perish. It will wear out like a suit of clothes. It will all change, but JESUS will never change! He eternally remains the same!
APPLICATION: Pick any day in the future; pick tomorrow, or a day next week, or next year, or 50 years from now, or 1000 years from now…Jesus will be the same! He will be just as loving then as He was when He died on the cross for our sins. He will be just as holy then as He was when He paid the price for our sins. He wants us to know that God loves us! He wants us to be holy, free from the stains of sin. Because of His death, He forgives us and cleanses us from all unrighteousness! (1John 1:9)
What a mistake to let my attention be captivated by that which is going to change and perish rather than keep my attention focused of Him who never changes!!! What a mistake to focus on the temporary things rather than on the Eternal One!!!
Note: Your circumstances have changed. They will change again. Some changes will be better and some worse. Know that He will use the changes to change you for His glory. Keep your attention on HIM who never changes. He is with you and will be with you through all the changes. Keep your ears open to His voice and your hand in His. He loves you! Amen
PRAYER: Lord, whatever happens in this temporary world does not change the truth that you, the unchanging God, have made me your dwelling place. I can always count on your presence. “You walk with me, and you talk with me, and you tell me I am your own…” Amen
