Dear Young Christian:

In the corner of the world where I come from — eastern Ontario, Canada — winter is upon us. Summer and autumn have long passed and now, cold, snowy, icy winter has set in. Everything in this life changes constantly! However, in the midst of all this there are some things that never change.

 The Lord Himself:

“Thou art the same” (Hebrews 1:12).

 The Word of God:

“The Word of our God shall stand forever” (Isaiah 40:8).

 His purposes:

“According to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will” (Ephesians 1:11).

So, in a world of continual upheaval there are some things we can count on. Has someone disappointed you or let you down this past weekend? Never mind — you can start the week with confidence in the Lord, His Word, and His ways.

Your Christian Friend,

Jim Hyland
