“CHANGES!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 595

September 6, 2022

The weather changes, the political leaders change, hair styles change, clothing styles change, music changes and work and home lives change! Technology changes faster than we can keep up with it and our bodies change!

Today I turn seventy-eight years old. I have seen major changes in my lifetime! Some cause me to be amazed, and some cause me pray harder against evil abounding!

But the one thing that has never changed is the steady Love and security of the Lord God Almighty, creator of heaven and earth!

His Mercy, Grace, Provisions in every way and His evidence in our lives everyday never changes!

James 1:17 (KJV)
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

The sun rises and sets, and the seasons come and go but always He is there whether we recognize Him or not. If we trust and come to Him through Jesus Christ, we can walk in the assurance that we are never alone, and He will never leave us!

I trusted Jesus as my Savior at age nine and in the years since there have been hills, valley, griefs, tears, and sorrows. There have been good and bad times. There have been times when life was flowing great and times when everything was falling apart.

There have been mess-ups, blunders, and major mistakes that I wish I could erase, but through it all the Love of God sustained me and helped me, and I got through to the other side of the situation and had grown stronger in Him!

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV)
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

I realize every day, that we are strangers in a foreign land, and we are here to make a difference, but our real citizenship is in heaven worshiping the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

In Hebrews the 11^th chapter, which is known as the hall of Faith, it is said of Abraham:

Hebrews 11:10 (KJV)
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

But in this land that we are journeying for a short life span, we are never alone and are guided and protected as we allow the Lord God to have preeminence in our lives!

Hebrews 13:5 (KJV)
Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

I am so thankful that I do not have to walk this road of life along. I have the presence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with me at all times. I can call on Him, Praise Him, rest in Him and cast all my care on Him, at any time of the night or day in any place I happen to be at that moment!

What an Assurance, what a Joy, to be able to lean on the everlasting arms of the one who created me and knows me better than I know myself!

The more years I am on the earth, the surer I am of the promises that:

Mark 10:27 (KJV)
 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Romans 8:28 (KJV)
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

John 14:27 (KJV)
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

I encourage you to walk in Faith and Victory and the assurance of who you are and whose you are!

Father, in the name of Jesus I come. I thank you for the Peace you give that even we may not understand, but we rest in it and let it overflow every area of our lives. I ask you to touch each person who reads this with the ability to allow you first place in their lives and walk in the assurance that you are always with them and ordering circumstances and situations for their good and your glory as we release these to you! Fill us with the understanding of your incredible Love that cannot be explained only felt! I praise and worship you! Amen!

Walk in Peace and Victory!

Love, Me-Maw
