Dear Missionary Lady,
Greetings in the name of our unchanging God. In a few days, we will all change out one calendar for another. In anywhere from one week to six months, we will get used to writing 2025 instead of 2024.
The year ahead will hold changes for each of us. Some of them will be welcome changes and others not so much. Some changes we will know about ahead of time or at least see them potentially coming, but others will be surprises.
In thinking about the changes to come, I wanted to encourage us to take heart in our unchanging God. “For I am the LORD, I change not” (Malachi 3:6). This verse is very positive in its context. The Israelites were unfaithful, but God remained faithful and therefore did not destroy them.
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever” (Hebrews 13:8). Men will change, and some men will try to change God’s message (v. 9), but God and His message do not change.
What comfort and confidence we can have because of our unchanging God. We don’t know what 2025 will bring, but we know Who will walk with us each day. May the coming year be both busy and profitable in the work of the Kingdom. God bless you as you faithfully walk in His service.
Love in Christ,
Peggy Holt
member at Open Door Baptist Church in Lebanon, PA
