Firm Foundation

As I was returning movies to a Redbox machine yesterday, I thought about how quickly the world has changed in my lifetime.  How many things that we thought would not change – have changed.  I remember when:

• VCRs entered the scene, and then when Blockbuster rental stores were popular. Now we can go to a free-standing machine and rent a video for under $2 a day.

• All that was available was the rotary dial phone. Now we have wireless phones that contain GPS, allow you to connect to the internet, and a host of other things that I don’t understand.

• Only major network channels (CBS, ABC, and NBC) were available on television, and when broadcasting ended at midnight. Now there are hundreds of channels available 24 hours a day.

• There were 8 track and cassette tapes, and albums. Now you are able to download songs onto a tiny device.

• You had a book that you kept phone number and addresses, now they can be kept in a “cloud” somewhere in space.

​If we spend too much time thinking about these things, it can make our heads spin and make us dizzy.  We wonder what the future holds, and might find it difficult to gain our bearings in this fast moving world.

The only sure foundation that we have in this ever changing world is God and His word.
When the world seems to be whizzing by you, know that you can stand solidly on God’s word, and hold tightly to His promises.
Blessings To You – Janice
