Scripture reading
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
–Hebrews 13:8
Thought of the Day
In my vast and never ending research to find thought of the day topics, I came across a somewhat mindless thing someone had sent me on the world wide web. It was called “WHAT A DIFFERENCE 30 YEARS CAN MAKE.” Someone had made a list comparing things from 1970 to the year 2000. Thus the name, what a difference… Here is the list.
1970: Long Hair
2000: Longing for hair
1970: Getting out to a new, hip joint
2000: Getting a new hip joint
1970: Rolling Stones
2000: Kidney stones
1970: Trying to look like Marlon Brando or Elizabeth Taylor
2000: Trying NOT to look like Marlon Brando or Elizabeth Taylor
1970: Acid Rock
2000: Acid Reflux
Now I can only imagine that the person who wrote this is having some health issues and is remembering the good old days. Of course, perhaps the good old days were not as great as we might remember. Of course, if we are remembering the good old days that Hebrews reminds us of, they are pretty good days, as is those days we are living today, and of course, those days in the future. Why? Because we have a God in Jesus Christ who is constant and faithful and loving and the same. That is great news!
Prayer
Lord, Thank You for being constant and unchanging in my changing world. Amen.
