It's been 26 years since I started flying at that fly-by-night shipping company. It's hard to remember when I began. The world has changed drastically in that time. It's also been 28 years since my daughter Valerie was born. And now she is married and has two of her own children.
The world has changed drastically in that time as technology has brought an avalanche of change. And in our country, the changes in morality have been monumental. Technology is up, but morality is down. It's so easy to accept change in technology and be progressive in our new computers or cellular phones. But the "progress" stops right there as morality is from God, and progress in immorality leads us into more and more ungodliness. Immorality can only lead to regress with God.
Some changes are good and some are not good. It's good to grow in the sanctification of faith and the transformation from grace to grace into the image of Christ. This is how God seeks to lead us over time, to grow up into maturity in faith. These are the changes that are good.
Some day there will be no more changes and no more time. God is immutable and he lives in eternity, yet he seeks to lead us all the time. For now, we have to keep on seeking the faithfulness of our upward calling in Christ in this constantly changing world. It is so good to grow in sanctification into Christ even as the world is changing all the time.
FAITH TODAY: Ecclesiastes 3:1, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."
