Lord, We Thank You Because You Are The Same To Us And For Us Each And Every Day. Amen.
There are two very familiar songs I have loved most of, if not all, of my life. They both speak the truth about change. I’m sure you know them. The first is by Sam Cooke, entitled; “A Change Is Gonna Come.”
It says: “I was born by the river in a little tent; oh, and just like the river, I’ve been running ever since. It’s been a long, a long time coming, But I know a change is gonna come; oh yes, it will. It’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die cause I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky. It’s been a long, a long time coming, but I know a change is gonna come; oh yes, it will. I go to the movie, and I go downtown. Somebody keeps telling me not to hang around. It’s been a long time coming but I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will. Then I go to my brother, and I say, “Brother, help me please.” But he winds up knockin’ me back down on my knees. There have been times when I thought I couldn’t last for long. But now I think I’m able to carry on. It’s been a long time coming, but I know a change gonna come, oh yes, it will.”
The second one was written by Quincy Jones and sung by George Benson. Its poetic words say:
“Everything must change. Nothing stays the same. Everyone must change. No one stays the same. The young become the old, and mysteries do unfold, ’cause that’s the way of time. Nothing and no one goes unchanged. There are not many things in life you can be sure of, except rain comes from the clouds, the Sun lights up the sky, and hummingbirds do fly. Winter turns to spring. A wounded heart will heal, but never much too soon. Yes, everything must change. The young become the old, and mysteries unfold cause that’s the way of time. Nothing and no one goes unchanged. There are not many things in life you can be sure of, except rain comes from the clouds, Sun lights up the sky, and butterflies fly.”
As we live, we must face the fact that there will be changes in our lives. Some changes will be good, and some will be bad. Some will be major, and some will be minor. Some will make us happy, and some will make us sad. A change is going to come because everything must change. Sometimes, change is hard for some of us to accept, but we must accept it.
Yes, we must accept the changes in our lives, but through the change, we can be assured and know deep in our hearts that the GOD of our salvation will never change. He will always be GOD. He will always be on the throne. He will always be our guiding light. He will always be our protection. He will always be our deliverer. He will always be our King of kings and Lord of lords. He will always be the same. Yes, Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8 KJV). Remember, through the changes in your life, GOD will be the same, and He will help you through. Beloved, what was the shift that GOD helped you through? What was the change in your life that made you realize that GOD is real and He is able? AMEN.
