Jesus is the Same

I went to the store the other day to buy my favorite ice cream.  I couldn’t believe my favorite ice cream cost more. The golden potatoes, that I dearly love, have increased.   What is with the price gouge on everything?  My favorite bread costs more.  Most of you know I love McDonalds. It’s been my favorite place to go forever.  I used to have my office there where I would meet others.  In the process of going there so much, I developed a friendship with the ones that work there.  It has been a fun place for me.  About 8 months ago, McDonalds raised their prices on sweet tea.  Not on the soda pop, but only on the sweat tea.  You can still get a large root beer, coke and any large soda they sell for $1.09. Grrr.  Of course, we have all noticed gasoline price increase, but sweet tea is over and above.

In contemplating my favorite things, I am so thankful that Jesus hasn’t changed.   He is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8.)  He is our comforter, protector, counselor, intercessor, helper, and gentle to each one of us. I love that He is available to his children 24/7. Keep that prayer line going. Jesus is still the answer in a changing world.

Read with me Lamentations 3:22-23    Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

I will never get over His faithfulness.  Here in Lamentations, it says his compassion never fails, great, is His faithfulness.  I would be amiss if I didn’t include my favorite song:

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me

Yes, my favorite things have gone up in price, but Jesus Christ is still on the throne. His forgiveness and love is freely given. Thank you, Jesus!
