"'I the LORD do not change. ...you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,' says the LORD Almighty."
(MALACHI 3:6A, 7)

Psalm 125
America thrives on change. Although we’re a relatively young country, we have seen very dramatic changes in just a few hundred years. Transportation, communication, entertainment, food preparation and even family life are wildly different than they were in the days of our founding fathers. How should a Christian behave in a world characterized by nearly constant change?


First, we must remember to keep God at the center of all we do, regardless of our surroundings. God has set us apart and called us for a specific purpose in life. We cannot fulfill that purpose if we stray from Him. Secondly, we should ask the Holy Spirit to give us a measure of discernment and wisdom so that we change only in ways that edify His church or make our personal relationships with Jesus stronger. And finally, be thankful for the myriad of ways we benefit from all these changes.


Just because the world around us moves at breakneck speed, we need not fear. We serve a God who is unchanging and constant, a Savior who sees
us through.
