The Constant In The Changing

In season five and in the last season of Boy Meets World, there are similar episodes that deal with change. This change can be from high school going to college, or it is going from you home state to a totally new place. I both of these episodes Cory Matthews freaked out. He doesn’t like change and it is very clear. He wants everything to stay the same. He wants to keep his group of friends together. He wants to know that he will have some place to turn to when things get hard. He doesn’t like the unknown, or what the future may hold.

This is also true for many of us. Change can be scary, whether it is from one job to another, between high school, and college, or it could be a big move all together. And when things change, we feel like we lose control, so we freak in an effort to keep what control we have left. In this time of change, we want something constant. Something that won’t change no matter what.

And luckly there is someone out there who won’t change no matter what. His name is God, and he is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. (Hebrews 13:8) God gave us his Word to turn to in times of trouble, his Word that will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8) The Lord does not change, no matter what the situation is going on down on Earth. (Malachi 3:6) You can feel like you are losing control but God still has your life in his hands, and he is still in control. So in those times of change, don’t freak out like Cory does in the show, trying his best to keep everything that way it is. Instead, let the chaos happen, knowing that God is in control, and that no matter what his love is never going to change.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for being constant and never changing. I pray that as my life may change that I can turn to you for structure and not try to fix everything on my own. I know that you have my life in your hands. Thank you for watching over me. Amen.
