I was listening to a podcast by James Watkins the other day
when I got up to get a highlighter off my other desk. I’d been sitting on a
chair that had wheels.
When I went to sit down again, the chair had rolled
backwards. Fortunately, I saw it and I went
to grab it with my left hand. It rolled
further away from me as I reached for it. I grabbed the desk with my right hand
and said to myself, “Gotta hold on to something that’s not moving and won’t move, like this desk.”
Our world is constantly changing. Society is changing. Whether it's our standards for our lives, what we know or think we do, or people’s
views of right and wrong. It’s all
elusive and trying to grasp or hold onto it is like my reaching for that chair
that continued to roll away. Holding onto it would’ve only made me
fall. Just as holding onto society’s
values that change leads to our downfall.
I’ve found that God never changes and is always there for
me, even when all else seems to be slipping away or is just out of reach. I can always find and hold onto him.
What do you hold onto?
Does it change with life’s circumstances or can you hold onto it,
knowing it will stabilize you regardless? What difference does it make in your
life? Jump into the conversation!
