"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised
is faithful." Hebrews 10:23


Sorting through fifty years of stuff was an incredible journey back
in time through our parents' earthly sojourn. My sister and I were
sitting on the living room sofa, which still had the arm covers on
it. Boxes of photos and letters and saved treasures were mounded up
around us. We always joked about there being a lot to go through
after Dad died, especially that attic!


We talked and cried, and it was evident how my sister sees and
remembers things about our Dad one way, while I remember another. We
were kids who grew up in the same family, yet viewed and related to
our mom and dad in different ways.


Our dad was the same person always. Whether with my sister or with
me, he was still "Daddy". Our different views of him did not change
who he was at all. It was just our perspective.


That may be how God's klds, brothers and sisters in the church, view
and relate to God. Individually. Perhaps the views and relationships
to God are from very different perspectives.


Yet God is ALWAYS the same, unswerving and unchanging. Faithful. El
Shaddai. El Elyon Adonai. The much loved hymn, Great Is Thy
Faithfulness, says there is no shadow of turning with Him. He is the
same yesterday, today, and forever.


Isn't it SO wonderful that in our lives, where everything is
constantly changing, there is something/Someone who is not? It is a
great comfort to me; a foundation on which to safely build and live.


Yes, that is good news.

PRAYER
"Lord Jesus Christ, you are the bread of life. You alone can satisfy the hunger in my heart. May I always find in you, the true bread from heaven, the source of life and nourishment I need to sustain me on my journey to the promised land of heaven."
