A great thing about walking into any Target store is that they all look the same. The aisles, the checkout stands, the greeting cards, home goods, and electronics departments all have a familiar look and set-up to them. It makes it really easy to navigate. They're consistent so you always know what to expect.
While sometimes I like to spice things up, I also appreciate it when some things basically stay the same. No matter where I travel in the US, all stop signs are red hexagons. So, even if I am coming from the other direction and can't see the word “stop,” I still know what's expected of the other driver coming my way. Anyone who drives knows the difference between a double yellow line and a dashed line. The common rules of the road help us drive safely.
You know that the roads in other countries are basically "everyone for yourself!" Lines don’t matter and there is no guarantee that even if you have a green light someone won’t come through the opposite red. It's chaos.
In our lives, there is one thing we can always rely on that will never change: the Word of God. There might be different versions, but all words point back to the same meaning. We can rely fully on a never-changing God. When things get crazy and unpredictable, when doubt starts to creep in, when we disagree, God’s Word is unchanging, and we can rely on it for truth and direction.
Hang on to God's Word and His promises--they stand forever.
