Mood’s change, money changes, living arrangement change, hearts, minds and situations all continue on a predictable order of flux and readjustment. This world continues to revolve and there is solid argument as to whether it is morally evolving or simply devolving into calamity and chaos. Men, believing themselves capable of making a quantum leap in human behavior are playing the stakes hoping that someday soon, enlightened thinking will take hold and overnight everyone will dedicate themselves to global good and sustained thinking. Seasons race by, colder, hotter, drier or calmer, they seem misaligned with the pace of man’s decadence. Or rather it is humanity who has become misaligned with the natural order of things, believing ourselves somehow outside of the logical underpinnings and universal norms. The principles of tipping points, chaos theory predict a breaking point in history where the forces of decay will tip the scales of possibility, catapulting humanity toward cataclysm. That is the story of despair, told throughout the ages by the enemies of God, hoping to lull men to sleep in belief that there is nothing that may be done. For everything changes and other than grasping for every ounce of self satisfaction in this life we remain without any control of the inevitable demise of man. Nothing could be further from the truth.
For there is a Rock upon which all is constructed that has and never will change. This Rock of Ages is the beginning and the end of history, sustaining, creating, controlling, balancing all the laws upon which the universe revolves. Through our dependence upon this Foundation Stone we may find peace in the One who never changes. Isn’t that the best place to begin any building, bridge or worship. Constructing upon the One who never moves, shakes or gives ground to worldly/heavenly forces. I continue in a state of metamorphosis, being remade, shaped, trimmed, honed, polished and reworked by the Hand that made me. Change is my lot in life. How I accept His transformative influence, adjust, surrender and seek that Artistry determines the level of my anguish or joy. It is truth to say that I could be dying of cancer and still remain positive, contagious and encouraging in the midst of my pain. Though my life continue to be reshaped toward passage to another plane, I can remain in a state of understanding regarding my place in the world and the currents of change I navigate. I change, God doesn’t and praise His Holy Name for that fact. For though my life remain in a state of constant flux, my heart and mind remain anchored to the One who never moves.
Praise God’s Righteousness that never changes for from this goodness I may measure my steps. Praise God’s Truth, for though all thought and substance be malleable, His Word remains unchallenged and steady. Praise God for His kind of Love, for through it I am able to adore the horrid and be kind to the undeserving, in unconditional remembrance of His Sacrifice for mankind. Praise God’s Faithfulness, for in those moments I believe to have quit the race, I am reminded that He never will. Praise God for His salvation, for just as one man condemned all to sin, One set us all free through Purity, Sacrifice and Everlasting Redemption to a Perfect and Holy God. Praise Him Who Never Changes, so that something remains reliable while all else spins in cacophony toward oblivion. Jesus Be Praised.
