Malachi 3:6 I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
The times we are living in seem to be very uncertain with circumstances changing from day to day. What we have taken for granted in the past can no longer be counted on for the future. Our unsaved friends are very anxious and worried with good cause as they don't have God as their foundation and their security.
But God does not want us to be worried, anxious or afraid. Our verse tells us that God, who is Love, does not change. He still loves us and always will. God is still on the throne of Heaven and all authority has been given to our Lord Jesus Christ. When our eyes are fixed on Jesus our lives will be held steady because He is our Deliverer and our firm foundation not our jobs, our pensions, our governments or even our traditions.
Regardless of what changes in the world around us we can know for sure that God remains the same in His care of us, His children. God has told us there will be a shaking in our world so we shouldn't be surprised and if we're wise we'll keep our eyes on Him and His Word and not just on the News!
On Jesus' last night on earth, just hours before His crucifixion, He gave His disciples an instruction, knowing they would see their world rocked to the core within 24 hours and what was it? I believe He wants to remind us today ...
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Remember even though everything else changes, God will not, and He says there is no need for us to be afraid so let's trust what He says. I hope that helps us today.
