When You Can't Handle One More Change

The color of the leaves

The seasons, the weather, the length of days   

The heights of our children & how they view us

Our waist size, shoe size, bra size

Our hair color, hair line, even how much hair we have

Fashion, who's "hot" & who's not 

Our love for others  

Our thoughts, priorities, & expectations

Our dreams

The future

What do these things have in common?

They all CHANGE. 

Everything changes.

The Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus (c. 535-475 B.C.) once said:

"Nothing endures but change."

The only constant in life is change. The universe, the world, nature, our lives --- all of it is in flux. Nothing is permanent. 

Impermanence and constant change--even slow change--create uncertainty, doubt, and fear. We don't know what the future holds.


But one thing we can be sure of that will never change:

God's Word      

In Isaiah 40, the prophet Isaiah, who has been warning Israel of God's impending judgment, here comforts the people with these words:

⁸ The grass withers and the flowers fall,
    but the word of our God endures forever.”

Everything in this life will change. When we feel like we can't handle one.more.change., cling to God's eternal, infallible, constant Word. It will be your anchor in the storm when your hair starts to gray and the weight just won't come off.

Mark 13:31

³¹ Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
