Yesterday, Today, and Forever

“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Hebrews 13:8 (NIV) The Bible says that God is the same yesterday, today and forever. How can you know Him? By getting into His Word. It talks about Him forgiving our sins as far as the east is from the west. They are gone forever! We sin because of our human nature. I’m not saying it’s okay, but when we sin we need to go quickly to the Lord and ask for forgiveness. God’s Word says that He is faithful to forgive our sins. He did that yesterday. He’s doing it today, and He will continue to do it! God’s Word also talks about His love for us, even when we were so far from Him. He loved us then, He loves us now, and He will love us forever. His love is the same as the day we came to Him. He never changes . . . we do! God also talks about His plan for our lives. I know we will hit bumps in the road. Sometimes we feel alone. Sometimes we feel He is not answering our prayers. Sometimes we get confused as to what He is doing in our lives. We must remember He just wants the best for us. He says that we give our children the best gifts we can give—how much more will God give! How we live our lives is very important. We aren’t like Him—we can’t be the same yesterday and forever, but we can determine in our heart that we will serve the Lord every day. Take account of your life to see if you are still walking with and talking to Jesus. Do this often because one day we will stand before Him and give an account for how we have lived for Him while on this earth. Besides, we want others to see Him in us. We want to be true to Him . . . always! – Pat Hall   Council Fire is a collaboration with Intertribal Life Ministries and Native Evangelical Fellowship of Canada.
