“I am forever grateful that in continually changing times, we serve an unchanging God…When everything else is different, this is the same: We can still trust Him.”
This was undoubtedly a very different first day of school. We couldn’t walk our 3rd grader to her classroom. We didn’t meet the teacher in person. We won’t be having lunch with her. There was not a three mile long car line. For the time ever, we had to pick out matching masks for all her outfits. The list goes on and on.
However, I would rather focus on the things that are the same. What was not different about today?
- God is still in control. He is with her every step of the way. (Is. 41:10) I couldn’t walk those halls and pray, but God will walk those halls with her every day.
- He still gives his angels charge over her to protect her in all her ways (Ps 91:11).
- He is the same God this year on this first day of school as He was last year and all the years before that (Heb 13:8).
- He still cares about every concern that races through my mind, and I will continue to trust Him with every thought (1 Peter 5:7).
I am forever grateful that in continually changing times, we serve an unchanging God. We have a God on our side who knows the unknown, sees the unforeseen, and controls the things beyond our control. When everything else is different, this is the same: We can still trust Him. So, what are you trusting God with today? What is out of your control, that you can leave in His control?
