He never changes

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever."                      Hebrews 13:8.  NKJV

People change; situations change even moods change, but Jesus Christ never changes! He is the same yesterday, today and forever! A good night's sleep can bring changes - changes to our mood, because we have been exhausted and not handled things very well. A good rest can bring changes to the way we view a particular thing. People often say, 'It'll be alright in the morning, you just need a good night's sleep,' and this can be so true for many things, but not always.

Over-tiredness can bring about mood swings, arguments and words spoken that were never intended but nevertheless have now caused heartache or division. Taking on too much work is not good. We should only do what we are physically able to perform. Anymore can be a recipe for sickness or at the very least, a volatile home and/or work life.

Take a look at how Jesus operated. He never took on more than He should and He even encouraged the disciples to do the same: 'Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.' (Mark 6:31). In other words, take some time out; slow down or you'll wear yourselves out.

Probably there is a lot going on in your life at the moment and you're finding it difficult to cope with it all. If you can change the situation, then go ahead and do so. If you can't, then you need to find a better way to be able to work through it. This is where Jesus comes in. He's done it all. There's not a thing that he has not seen or heard about and what's more, he has the answer to where you are at. The Jesus that was there  in the beginning - God Himself - is the same Jesus who lives in your heart, if you've invited Him in. He is committed to you and is waiting for you to call on Him. Even your angels are doing the same. The thing is, they can do nothing until you call on God for help. As soon as you do, he releases your angels to minister to you, or in other words, to work on your behalf and deal with what needs dealing with. If you don't call on Him, He can't help, 'For whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.' (Romans 10:13).

Jesus has not changed. He's still God and He's still your friend. You may say, 'Yes, but you don't know what I did last night. You don't know what I said.' True, I don't, but Jesus does and He still loves you, He never changes. Repent and move on with Jesus. Kenneth Copeland says, 'Jesus died for the ungodly, I said to myself, I qualify for that, and I've never looked back since.' 

As the song goes, 'What a difference a day makes - 24 little hours,' and it's so true. One day things may seem impossible to get through, but somehow you do; tomorrow may be different. Don't look too far ahead. One day at a time is enough. Jesus told us, 'So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today' Matthew 6:34 NLT.

Whatever happens, Jesus is still on the Throne! So give Him praise. It opens doors. There's always a reason to thank Him for His provision, healing, blessing, home, family, food and lots more. Rejoice in the God who never changes.
