Who can we trust?

I don’t remember a time, in my half century of life, with more chaos and confusion. It is hard to know what to believe or who to trust. It can feel like I am struggling to find footing.

If I focus closer to home, I feel less dizzy. The world may be crazy, but I am constantly amazed by the maturity of my children. I’m thankful for my husband and his consistent positive attitude. We have food and we have shelter. God is providing for us.

Several years ago, I was talking with a friend who was distressed that we are watching the implosion of the Western world. She was particularly concerned that like Rome, and other empires before, the American empire seems to be crumbling.

It was during this discussion that I realized that even though the Roman empire fell, Rome and Italy still exist. The people carried on and life moved forward. While the affairs of the powerful ebb and flow the life of the average person continues on.

It helps us carry on and find hope if we remember that we are part of a great Kingdom, greater than any earthly empire. The God we worship does not change or evolve or disappear – we can count on Him. In a world of whirling deceit, He is the truth.

We can hold on to the unchanging God and his son. His son who died for us.

Hebrews 13: 8  Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
