The Lord’s immutable nature is the foundation of our faith.
From Hebrews 1:10-12: “In the beginning, Lord, You founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands; they will perish, but You remain; they will all wear out like clothing; like a cloak You will roll them up, and like clothing they will be changed. But You are the same, and Your years will never end.”
Clouds of change fill morning’s sky
Hidden in frozen crystal ball
What will tomorrow bring?
Many questions wait to free fall
Transformation rides each wind
Hidden story’s unwritten thread
Others forecast gloom and doom
Some say, better times ahead
Harmony fills every thought
Hidden in history’s playbook
Another bridge, not too far
Truth discovers faithful nook
Joyful peace, flowing with hope
Hidden anthem’s spirited choice
Rodeo’s last mount to ride
Countless answers offer voice

If you don’t want to sink, you better figure out how to swim.
Sometimes you need a little crisis to get your adrenaline flowing and help you realize your potential.

From 1 Peter 5:6-7: “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.”
Our world will sometimes
Turn upside down
Filled with anxiety
Peace faces meltdown
Life’s heavy anchors
Worry weighs down
Sinking ever deeper
Hope lifts at sundown
Father sees darkness
Brings forth His grace
Therefore, humble ourselves
Peace comes to embrace
Father’s mercy beams
Light’s bold outlook
Always caring for us
Hope’s warming chinook
Father’s caring breath
Calls us to cast
Every despondent thought
Faith always steadfast
From Psalm 94:19: “When the cares of my heart are many, Your consolations cheer my soul.”

God personally cares about the things that worry us. You are His personal concern. He cares about those aching thoughts that are like heavy anchors dragging you down.
From 1 Peter 5:6-7: “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you in due time. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.
Watching every child
Life’s mirror shares reflections—
Seeing bit of self
Viewing from window
Life’s gentle pace steps outside—
Adventure’s road trip
Scanning fresh headlines
Life discovers some goodness—
Flowing with kindness

Just maybe . . . a positive attitude will evaporate the fogginess of today’s darkness.
