Shanah – Change

Once again there is change and turmoil in the world, March is a time of seasonal change from Summer to Autumn or Winter to Spring depending on where you are.  Change can be difficult and fearful particularly when it is socio-political change of which there has been much happening over the last few months in the world.

The Hebrew word for change is shanah.  The prophet Malachi wrote “I am the Lord and I do not change (shanah).” when writing of God.  It is important with all the change in the world, and around us to remember that God has always been the same – He is an unchanging foundation or rock for us the stand, sit or cling to.

If you are stressed by the changing and war happening in the Middle East, Europe or drums of war from China, throw your cares upon Jesus and cling to Him the true unchanging foundation of our Faith and the Light of the world, take your concerns to Him in prayer.

Godspeed
