I started Faithful Fridays so that Christians could have one designated day a week (although I don't think they should keep it to just one day) to share something about their Faith--a prayer request, answered prayer, Bible verse, something God's laid on your heart, etc. To participate in Faithful Fridays, just grab the button above for your post along with a link to my blog somewhere in your post, too. After you've published your post, please come let me know in your comment that you participated and leave me a link to your blog. I'd love to come read your post!

This world is constantly changing, isn't it?
In prices; grocery prices, gas prices, prices on everything!
In technology; laptops, iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touches.
In fashion; short skirts, torn jeans, low-cut shirts.
In morals...well, I don't think I even have to elaborate on that one!
But yet, there are some things that don't seem to change--the sky, the moon, the stars...
And most importantly, God never changes.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
-Hebrews 13:8
Yesterday, and today, and forever--isn't that awesome? And when we realize just how much God loves and cares for us and how He is totally and ultimately in control and will do good to those who obey His commands (isn't that an amazingly comforting thought when we tend to try to rely on our human circumstances?), we have a lot more peace of mind!
I love the song Constant by Francesca Battistelli--please don't just skim over these lyrics; really read them!
I'm just a little bit afraid of where I'm going
And it feels like a hurricane is blowing over
Though I can't find the ground below
I've lived enough to know
I've lived enough to know
You're my constant in every moment
Constant
You've never failed me
All my life
You have never left my side
You are my constant
Hear that? He has never left our side, even when it feels like he has. I love line from Fireproof, "Don't just follow your heart, because your heart can deceive you." We are so often told to follow our heart when really that's not the point--we are to follow Jesus and His Word, His teachings and His commands--which are so awesomely laid out for us in the Bible. Don't you love the Bible? It's our own instruction book for life!
Okay I really don't like change but I can't stop it
I'm moving forward anyway with the promise
You are my anchor for my soul
That's all I need to know
That's all I need to know
Just trust that God is in control and that He can handle it even when you can't. God doesn't promise to give us all the answers to our problems, He just promises to carry us through the struggles and sufferings, no matter what method He chooses.
You're my constant in every moment
Constant
You've never failed me
All my life
You have never left my side
You are my constant
Before I was a thought on earth
You knew me then and You gave me worth
When all of this is said and done
You will be the One I'm standing on
You're my constant in every moment
Constant
You've never failed me
All my life
You have never left my side
You are my constant
He is our never-changing, always comforting, ompletely reliable, always responsible, ultimately in-control God. He is our Constant.
