Show Notes

READ: PSALM 33:6-15; HEBREWS 13:8

 

Rain was in the forecast again today,

But there’s none falling, only clouds.

The weather never seems to be

What we’re expecting, what is said to be coming.

 

She told me that we’d get together,

Then she canceled at the last minute.

Plans never seem to work out

How I’m expecting, how I think they will.

 

I saved my money, ready for this,

But the price is too high now.

The cost doesn’t ever stay the same,

It’s not what I’m expecting, it’s too much for me.

 

You are there and I wait for You to change,

I wait for You to fail me, to disappear.

You never change, not even a bit,

You are constant, the one I can trust. • Emily Acker

 

• Sometimes it can feel like everything around us is constantly changing. What are some changes you’ve been faced with lately, whether in the world or in your own life? How do you feel about them?

• How does it make you feel to know that God is always the same? It’s okay if you don’t feel instantly happy or peaceful. God invites us to be totally honest with Him. When others disappoint you or things aren’t as you thought they’d be, it’s hard. But God is always at your side, always offering support and hope. After all, Jesus died and rose again to save us. He promises to return one day and restore all the brokenness sin has caused in and around us. Until then, He is always with us. When we look to the cross, we can know that His love never changes.

Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. James 1:17 (NIV)
