"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth." (Isaiah 62:1)

Change

Judges 5:6-8 tells us of a time in ancient Israel when the people were bored with the status quo. They pursued new gods and new ways. But they paid a price. Change began to hurt. They lost their freedoms, their farms, and their families. They couldn’t walk along the roads for fear of their lives. They had to harvest their food in secret, for fear of confiscation. Their economy was ruined by the aggression and oppression of foreigners.Not all change is good.

Not all change is good.

Thankfully, we can rely on a God Who will direct us, protect us and preserve us – Who does not change (Malachi 3:6).
