Living in a world of ever increasing change
You see, we live in a world of ever increasing change. The population has increased from one billion in 1850 to 2 billion in 1930 to 3 billion in 1960 to 5 billion in 1989 to 6 billion at the end of the twentieth century. The speed at which we can move people and things has grown as well. In 1800 a horse could gallop at 20 mph. Not much later with the advent of the train we could ride at 100 mph. In 1952 the first passenger jet soared at 500 mph. The Concorde jet, introduced in 1979, topped that speed cruising at 1,200 mph. Now astronauts orbit the earth at 16,000 mph. Technology advances 100% every two years now. This is especially evident with the computer.
We can always count on Him
Change is a fact of life, yet we are creatures who need stability. We want institutions we can count on. We desire relationships of commitment. We need constants just to make sense out of the world. And God is THE Immutable One we can depend on. In a life of unceasing change God is utterly consistent. As such, God is the most reliable being in the universe. We can always count on Him. Regardless of how temporary and insecure the circumstances seem, we can rely and put our hope in the Eternal God whose truth and promises do not change with the times.
Trust in Him today!
Even if hard times, unexpected times, horrible times, confusing times come to our life God is our safety and refuge. It is a wise man who stays in the shelter and care of the Lord regardless of the situations in life! If you have left the safety of His presence…today if you will turn to God He will be a safe place for you during the hard times of life. Trust in Him today!
