Reflecting on God’s Word
Worlds do change. They come and they go. One day we simply stop climbing up on our
mother’s or father’s lap. Or we quit reading comic books, or put away our Barbies®, or
we begin to no ce beauty. It happens more than once in a life me. We pass the exam
and get our driver’s license, and in a moment all of childhood’s boundaries crumble.
We graduate from school and our days become our own, some mes frighteningly so.
We move away from home and realize we can no longer return, not to the way it once
was. And while we think all those moments are of our own doing, in truth they are not,
none of them. They come upon us as does November out of autumn, and frequently
just as bleak. The temples of our lives that we’ve adorned not only with precious
stones but also with precious memories and treasured ways, are always being torn
down without one stone le upon another. And no one ever asks our permission.
The new worlds we fear the most, however, are not the ones that change our outer
landscapes so much as the ones that can reshape our inner landscapes. For believers,
for those who live by the ways of Jesus, it is faith that offers us the willingness to trust
and the courage to con nue on. Jesus’ vision can become the one s ll point in our ever
-changing world, or the one source of life and love when all else is collapsing.
