the Permanent One.

"In light of God's Truth, we can zoom in on the details of this life without our being ruled by uncertainty and fear. And in light of God's Truth, we can zoom out to see the whole, God-sized picture, knowing He and His Word will outlast anything we can see or control.

When the temporary has passed away, when The Stack and every other finite thing has finally returned to dust, we'll be left standing face-to-face with the Permanent One. There will be no more guesswork then."     (excerpt from She Reads Truth By: Rachael Myers and Amanda Bible Williams)

Permanence.
      In Christ.
      In the questioning.
      In our fears and doubting.
      In what the future holds.
      In our present lives and circumstances.

GOD IS THE PERMANENT ONE.
The only Permanent thing we have to seek, to hold, to get to know intimately, to love, to trust, to believe in.

When I am feeling overwhelmed by doubt, fear, questions, and concerns....my God is something PERMANENT that I can hang on too. Praise Jesus for that. In a world that is passing us by so quickly, I need a bit of permanence to keep me grounded.

So with that....
Whatever the Lord is calling you to.
Where you're being nudged to turn.
Whatever decisions you're facing.
---------turn to Jesus, your permanent one.

"God's covenant to us is not dependent on us. Not even a little bit. His guarantee is permanent, even when nothing we can muster up in response is."




seeking permanence in Christ,
