That “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Heb.
13:8) is especially good news for us when we consider the reality of our
flighty hearts.
Our affections ebb and flow. Our passion for Christ surges and then dwindles.
Sometimes we feel like a dry desert, lacking the intimate adoration
for Christ that should flow out of our understanding of his Word.
Sometimes we feel like we’re walking by a serene brook, where everything is calm and beauty is easy to see.
Sometimes we feel like a dusty library of books, filled with lusterless academic knowledge bereft of joy.
Sometimes we feel like we’re flying, caught up in the thrill & joy of walking with Jesus in the truth of his word.
Sometimes we feel like we’re in a dark cave filled with brokenness and pain with no foreseeable exit.
Sometimes we feel like we’re in a forest of weariness, struggle, and
pain in which rays of sunlight bring us joy as the reassuring presence
of the Holy Spirit to carries us through.
Praise God that neither our salvation nor our sanctification depends upon our emotion, passion, or circumstances! Continue at Britney Hamm
