“Always The Same”
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus is the bedrock of Salvation, anchored in His foundation is the utmost of security. If we are not careful, we will lean too hard on temporal things, that only rust, decay, and wear out with the using. Make up your mind today to set your affections on things above, and the one that abides faithful to you forever. We are found too many times, building on shifting, sinking sand, when we need to build only on the solid rock foundation, that nothing on earth or in Heaven can move. Lay everything you have on Him and learn to depend on nothing else but Jesus Christ, the Rock of our salvation. Be like Him, in His affections; Build all of your hope in what He has done, it is not hopeless, when hope abides within; Lay all your trust in the blood covering that cleanses withal, and depend only in His presence for fulfilling joy, peace and satisfaction, even though it seems everything is falling apart around you.
One day we will be found facing death, will your life do when you are dying? Your eyelids will close like purple curtains, are you praying for others like you should? Are you taking God at His word when He says, “study to show thyself approved unto God.” (II Timothy 2:15) or will you be found unapproved for lack of study? Don’t you think it’s best to lay all into the hands of one who will never leave you, one that you can trust to take you through the cold chilly waters of death? With Jesus, we’ll land safely home, and sit with Him there in the promised heaven. (Matthew 28:20)
“With you”
Tell all your faults and secrets,
To the One you can trust, and who cares.
The one who will never leave you.
And with whom all glory you’ll share.
We’re His, and far away we’ll not stay,
The promise is, “Lo I’m with you alway.”

Weekly Memory Verses: 1 Peter 2:21
21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:
23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
