What a Friend We Have in Jesus!

Have you noticed the change? It’s the weather I’m speaking of this time: the cooler mornings and shorter days. Here in the country the change of season has been quite pronounced. The bean fields neighboring the church have been harvested; the trees behind the church surrounding the prayer path have hints of yellow, red, & brown. I guess it won’t be long until the snow flies! There is a change that many can experience in their spiritual walk as well. We find ourselves drifting from our routine, be it prayer time or Bible reading/study, because of time constraints or any number of outside influences. Most of you know that I am “Mr. Change is Good” but you also need to know this. We are to “set our minds on things above.” Don’t let satan trick you into thinking you don’t have time for a daily devotion or prayer time or Bible study, or that it’s not that important…that’s exactly what his goal is. In the midst of constant change, whether it’s the seasons, stages of life, or change in the church, there are some things that must remain unshakable in our lives and one is our personal time with our Creator. If we neglect our time with God, the change we will notice is a lack of relationship where once we had a cherished friend.
