It's Simply Presence

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

I don't know about you, but in my life things seem to change and move so quickly and suddenly at times. Of course, there are other things that don't seem to ever change even though I might like them to be different. There are no guarantees, even when we think there might be. This verse is a great place to rest my ever-changing and never-changing concerns about life. Jesus is who He is. There is no change in Him. I can come to Him everyday and He is the same. He is a constant calm in the storm. He is the peace in the chaos. He is the hope in the distress. There are so many more little phrases like that I could write, but the reality is simply that Jesus is present. Jesus is with me always, whether I feel Him or not. He does not leave me. He does not take a break. Jesus' presence is the one thing I can always count on, whether life is changing too quickly or is stagnant and slow. Jesus' presence is the only place I can feel complete rest and comfort when all else fails. I encourage you to try that for a several days in a row. Seek time with Jesus.  Ask Him to come and sit alone with you, even if it's only for a few minutes. You will find something extraordinary happens in your soul when you spend time with the Creator and Savior of the world.
