Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
The song "New York Minute" by The Eagles has been running in my head continually this week. More specifically just the line, "In a New York minute…ooo…everything can change." (If you know the song, I'm hoping you sang it out loud. :-D) This has been a very real statement for me this week, so I asked God what he was wanting to tell me, since I can't seem to stop singing this in my head. He then gave me the focus verse. Ah, what a refreshing word. Yes, this life is quick to change sometimes, for the good or the bad. It is comforting to know that no matter what this life throws at us, Jesus Christ will always remain the same. He is who He is. He is the one constant in an ever-changing world. We can rest in His steadiness. What is your favorite name for Jesus? Counselor, Mighty God, Prince of Peace, Lord of Life, Christ, Savior, Friend, Comforter, Redeemer? This list is not exhaustive, but today for me, I think my favorite name for Jesus is Lord of Life. He is in charge of all life, isn't he, from beginning to end and throughout eternity. There is deep joy and comfort in knowing that He remains constant so that a "New York Minute" moment does not crumble our world. We have an unconditional, steadfast Savior who is with us in our deepest valley and on our highest mountaintop. This changing world has nothing on me because I've got Jesus in me! Hallelujah!
