The good news is that, amid so many changes, there is one unchanging reality you can always count on. Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Jesus never changes, and His faithfulness to those who believe in Him never changes. “His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart (Psalm 91:4).
Have you ever had a rough ride in an airplane? Turbulence tosses the plane this way and that. An air pocket makes the plane drop suddenly, and your stomach jumps into your mouth. As you near your destination and come in for a landing, the plane shakes and sways in the wind. When it reaches the runway, the plane bounces a few times before screeching to a stop. After such a wild and bumpy ride, what a relief to be on firm ground! It feels great to have both feet standing on something solid.
So too, if you've been blown this way and that by turbulence and changing times, it's good to know that you have both feet standing firmly on the rock-solid reality of Christ. Faith in Jesus brings security and stability you can't find anywhere else.
Your health can change, your relationships can change, your finances can change, weather patterns can change, economies can change, technology can change, governments and national boundaries can change, but "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Changing times don't change the Lord. All other things, even the very earth and sky, are changing. The Bible says earth and sky are like clothes that eventually wear out and must be changed. "But," says the Bible of Jesus, "you remain the same, and your years will never end" (Hebrews 1:11-12).
The Bible says this in the first chapter of the book of Hebrews, and the eternal, unchanging character of Christ is emphasized throughout Hebrews. Around the middle of Hebrews, Scripture says of God's promise in Christ, "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Hebrews 6:19).
The question for us today is, “Are you anchored in Jesus?” With all the uncertainties and changes, you can stand on the solid Rock and be secure!
