His Constancy is a Tower of Refuge

So the last couple weeks have been somewhat rough at work and it seems that the adversity of life always seems to teach me a thing or two about God.  When I work lots of hours in a given week, reality seems to take on a odd, otherworldly sense where nothing makes sense.  Family relationships get strained from lack of time spent, sleep gets rare and your body starts acting funny with situations like waking up in the middle of the night with adreliline pumping.

The thing that I learned this past rough season of work is that God is to be worshipped for His constancy.  He doesn’t change like the humans nor does his love for his people falter.  This isn’t to say that stuff is going to go great for us.  Actually Israel was slaves in Egypt for 400 years (twice as long as the USA has been around) and then got to walk around the desert for 40 years after they were freed.  That sounds incredibly difficult to someone living in our easy culture.  But God was constant.  The evidence of this is all around in so much that we take for granted.  The sun comes up every morning.  Seasons come and go.  These are things that we just expect, but this expectation rests on God’s constancy and good grace in giving us even the sun every morning.

God be praised in good times and bad times.  He is constant.
