Have you ever met someone whom you have not seen or talked to in a long time? Perhaps it was an old classmate from high school, or a neighbor you used to live next door to. Usually, one of the surprises of such meetings, is how much our friend (and ourself) have changed. Sometimes, the years are not kind to a person. "My how you have changed!" can be a joyous remark. But sometimes, it is not. I remember one summer in Pennsylvania...
One summer in Pennsylvania visiting my wife's family and mine, I was in a local supermarket. Out of the blue I heard, "Bob Edmonson, you've not changed one bit." As I looked around, I saw a former high school classmate. She was working at the pharmacy in the store. We chatted for a few moments, before I left with my purchase of Tasty-Cakes! This is how God is. I don't mean His appearance, which is what my old classmate was referring to when she saw me, but who God is. He is still loves mankind, in spite of the mess we have made of Thankfully, He is still faithful, loyal and generous. He still makes the sun come up every morning and go down every night (except in parts of Alaska!) He is still dependable, and longsuffering. things. In a changing world of politics, morals, philosophy, and world-views, I am thankful for an unchanging Savior! Come worship Him with us this Sunday! Pastor Bob Edmonson |
