Ever Changing

Last weekend, the temperature warmed up to 70 degrees. It felt like spring outside. Today (Thursday), it's 32 degrees and raining. It's supposed to snow tonight. In a few days, it's supposed to be back to 70 degrees. This time of year in Texas, the weather can do crazy things, changing from one extreme to another in a matter of hours. Snow, rain, tornadoes, hail, sleet, and warm, sunny breezes can all be in the forecast in the span of a week or two.

Our society changes like the weather. What's popular one week is out of style the next. ("That's so yesterday.") When it comes to fashions or music or actors, it doesn't really matter very much. But our society would also like to change values like we change our clothes. What's considered right and wrong one year may be considered completely acceptable the next. But God is not that way. His standard for our lives has not changed. He made us and knows what's best for us, and He will continue to want us to follow His timeless guidance. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Heb 13:8)

Have a great week, and keep following our never-changing Lord.
