Change

Last weekend our family was visiting our friends in Kansas City. One of the highlights was the NARNIA exhibit. This is a traveling exhibit, that will visit large cities around the US. My son, Jonathan & I are fans of all the Chronicles of Narnia books and of course, the two movies based on the books. As we entered the exhibit, through the wardrobe a sign greeted us "Everything you have known is about to change". For the Pevency children, their world definitely changed...as they entered a new world and experienced great adventures. I read the sign and thought how true that is for the world in which we live right now, for everything that we have known is about to change (if it hasn't already).

Change. I drove my son to guitar lessons today and the McDonald's which has stood on the corner for the last 12 years was gone! Demolished. Only dirt. Last week it was there. This week it is gone.

Change. Our family getaway to KC last weekend, consisted of my husband, son & I....our girls were working and couldn't join us. This was the first time of the "new" family arrangement. Our girls are older and just couldn't get away with us. So, instead of 5, there were 3.

Change. This world is changing in front of our eyes; faster than ever before. We can't keep up with the change~ the good and the bad.

Constant. One thing is certain. Jesus never changes. The phrase from The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe "Everything you have ever known is about to change" does not apply to Jesus. He stays the same, yesterday, today and forever. He is immovable. He is constant. He is faithful. He is unshakable. He is in control. He is our center. Jesus is the peace in the midst of chaos. Do not be fearful or anxious. Put your trust in Him. Hold fast to Jesus and He will see you through.

"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe." Hebrews 12:28
