DECEMBER 29, Hebrews 13:8 

What are the 4 seasons? They are spring, summer, autumn, and lastly, winter. Most of the time, each season lasts about 3 months. Countries very far north or south of the Equator would have longer winters and shorter summers; countries nearer the Equator have shorter winters and longer summers. Countries like Singapore, which is almost exactly on the Equator, have summer all year long.

If we were to live in a country where there are 4 seasons, you will find that you have to wear very different clothing for the different seasons. A spring season outfit could include a rain coat, boots, an umbrella, a hat or gardening clothes. A summer outfit could include sunglasses, a hat, flip flops, a t-shirt, and shorts. This is what we are used to in Singapore. An autumn outfit could include overalls, a jacket or pullover. A winter outfit would probably include a heavy winter jacket, boots, scarf, mittens, and wool hat. Seasons change.

People change too. Have some fun and ask mummy for old photos of her and your dad when they were courting – that is before they were married. They were a lot younger then, and you may be able to spot big differences!

We change. You are growing up, and one day you’d be an adult. Then age will catch up and you’d be as old as mummy and daddy. Eventually, you could be as old as your grandparents! And when we age, we change. Our bodies become weaker and we fall sick more easily.

Everything changes. Except Jesus, for He is the same yesterday, today and forever! Now what does that mean to us? This means that Jesus will always be true and kind and available for us. This is because Jesus is God and God does not change. He does not age, for God is timeless. He does not gain more knowledge, for God is omniscient – meaning He knows all things.

Isn’t it wonderful to have an all-powerful and all-knowing Lord in Jesus who at the same time is always true and kind and available to us? Go to Him today, and every day!

Thought: Jesus never changes!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You so much that Jesus never changes. It is so comforting for me as I can always seek His help and grace. Thank You also that He always understands my problems and needs, as He was a man when He walked on earth in Israel. In Jesus’ magnificent name, Amen.
