Life Changes.  Jesus Does Not.

Today, I invite you to think about and embrace the wisdom of Heraclitus:  

“No man steps in a river twice.” 

Life’s essence lies in perpetual change, an ever-flowing river of experiences.  Each moment is unique, never to be repeated. 

Like a river, life may have twists, turns, and unexpected currents.  Instead of resisting, learn to flow with the stream of change. 

Embracing new challenges and opportunities is the key to growth.  Just as a river shapes its path, let life shape you.  

Every encounter, every obstacle, is a chance to evolve.  Don’t cling to the past; let it be the foundation for a stronger future. 

As you navigate the river of life, remember that every step forward is a step into uncharted waters.  

Embrace change, adapt, and let the current carry you towards new horizons.  Life’s beauty lies in its ever-changing nature; find strength in the flow.

Questions to Ponder and Pursue

1.  Reflect on the idea that “No man steps in a river twice.” How does this perspective on life as an ever-flowing river influence the way we approach and appreciate each moment?

2.  In what ways can embracing change and adapting to life’s twists and turns lead to personal growth and the creation of a stronger foundation for the future?

“Steadfast Amidst Change: Finding Comfort in the Unchanging Nature of Jesus”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬
[8] Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Even in the midst of life’s uncertainties and  challenges find comfort in the unchanging nature of Jesus.  A rock on which you can stand.

When work issues create chaos, remember that the same Jesus who calmed the sea can bring tranquility to your life.

If a challenging diagnosis shakes you, know that the Jesus who healed the sick is there to provide comfort and walk through it with you.

Committing your life to Him ensures a steadfast presence; Jesus remains unchanged and will never leave or turn away.

He is the consistent God—unchanged yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Life changes.  Jesus does not. 

Questions to Ponder and Pursue

1.  In the face of life’s unpredictable changes, how does the belief in Jesus as a constant source of comfort impact your perspective on challenges and chaos?

2.  What do you need to lay at his feet and let him help you with today?
