Hebrews 13:7-9

⁷Remember your leaders who first taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and trust the Lord as they do.

⁸Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. ⁹So do not be attracted by strange, new ideas. Your spiritual strength comes from God’s special favor, not from ceremonial rules about food, which don’t help those who follow them.

Reflect

Life for my kids will never the be same as when I grew up. As much as I would like for them to know the freedom I had as a child, life just seems more dangerous today. Maybe it is because we have multiple 24-hour news channels or maybe the world is just becoming more corrupt. Every time I look around, the world is changing. It seems as though everything that was right and proper is now abnormal and everything that was abnormal is now normal! The good is now bad and the bad is now good. Even the word “bad” means good and bad. It is a major Olympic sport to try to keep up with the changes.

Isn’t it nice to know that the same Jesus, who walked this earth over 2000 years ago is the same yesterday, today and forever? That is a rock I can stand on! A firm foundation that I can build my house on. That is the norm I can instill in my children. We can depend on our God because he never changes! Thank God for that!

Respond

Who brought you to Christ? When was the last time you thanked them?

It is important that we also bring people to Christ. What things can you do that will help bring others to Christ?

Isn’t it nice to know that we can always depend on God?
