Seasons

“While the earth remains,

seedtime and harvest,

cold and heat, winter and

summer, and day and night

shall not cease.”

     Genesis 8:22 (NKJV)

“Jesus Christ is the same

yesterday, tomorrow,

and forever.”

    Hebrews 13:8 (NKJV)

I saw a church sign near the Eagan office today and it said: “Seasons change, God does not.”  It made me smile because it’s true. 

Here in Minnesota, we’re in the midst of fall with beautiful colored leaves, cooler temperatures and shortening days.  I do love the changing seasons.  But I love even more the fact that our God does not change.  He is eternal, beyond time and beyond the seasons He creates.  Our Savior Jesus Christ is always the same--yesterday, tomorrow and forever.  That stability is a great comfort, knowing that He is our solid Rock.

I also take comfort in knowing that God made the seasons to give order to our lives, to provide a rhythm to the days and months.  “To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.” (Ecclesiastes 3:11)  Almighty God is sovereign and His gracious hand ordains the seasons in our calendars and the seasons in our lives. 

As you’re out raking leaves or enjoying a walk in the sweater-weather, take a moment to thank God for His beautiful work in the seasons and praise Him for His unchanging character.
