unchanging

i am thankful that God never changes

imagine that. imagine being perfect and never slipping, falling, stumbling.

for some reason i haven't been reading my bible a whole lot lately. it happens. something always draws me back though.

worry has had a terrible hold on me recently. it started keeping me up at night. sometimes i pray and pray until i fall back asleep. the other night i had to get up and read my bible though - i needed to hear Him a little better.

i asked God to show me where He wanted me. here are some highlights.

i opened up to 2 Timothy. i was encouraged about the outcome of a faithful mother and grandmother.

in Titus i was reminded to love my husband and children; "to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind..."

Hebrews 13:5 was especially encouraging as i struggle with living within a budget: "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God said, Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."

then i smiled as i read the next verse; "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid." riley has this verse posted right across from her bed so she can read it at night and has memorized it.

and i ended my time in The Word with:"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." Heb. 13:8

i thanked God that although.... i fail, friends and family disappoint, spouses struggle, kids disobey, bosses accuse, co-workers gossip,....i slip...i fall...i struggle....God never changes. He is perfect in His actions, words, thoughts, intentions, plans and His love for us.
