b'In an ever-changing world, we all want something to hold on to, don\\u2019t we? When we go through a big transition in our life, it always helps to cling to something that doesn\\u2019t change, though everything else around us may be changing.\\nMaybe you\\u2019re starting a new school, and you\\u2019re not sure what that will be like. Perhaps your best friend is moving away, and you have to branch out to make new friends. Or maybe your parents are getting divorced, and you can hardly imagine how that change is going to affect your family. Sometimes transitions in life can feel like your world is falling apart, and things that once felt like sturdy rock begin to turn to sand.\\nIn these moments when change feels overwhelming, we can remind each other of solid truths we can stand on that will never be shaken. Read these verses:\\n\\u2022 \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153God, who is enthroned from of old, who does not change\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (Psalm 55:19a).\\n\\u2022 \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153But you remain the same, and your years will never end\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (Psalm 102:27).\\n\\u2022 \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (Hebrews 13:8).\\n\\u2022 \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d (James 1:17).\\nAmazing! Our God is the One who never changes. While the world is still broken by sin and death, change is inevitable. We can\\u2019t control it, we can\\u2019t stop it, it just happens. But praise God that He never changes. Because in times when everything is changing around us, He is our anchor, the One we can cling to, because He remains the same. \\u2022 Emily Rondello\\n\\u2022 Think of a transition in your life, either one you\\u2019ve already gone through or one you\\u2019re in the midst of now.
