"Up" days and "Down" days

"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." Genesis 8:22

As long as we live in this planet, these four laws apply, always, even within the Kingdom of God.

What we sow we reap--seedtime and harvest. Sometimes we grow cold in ministry, sometimes we're on fire--cold and heat. Some days people are warm to us, but sometimes cold enough to hate us to death--summer and winter. There are moments when everything we do are so right, and moments when everything we do seems to fail, darkest moments of our lives--day and night.

But the wonder of wonders is that a constant remains, an unchanging absolute where we can all cling to.

"The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the Word of our God shall stand forever." Isa. 40:8

We cling to the Word--the Scriptures, His very great and precious and unchanging promises. We cling to Christ--the Word incarnate, His very great and precious and unchanging character.

We cling. Whether it be seedtime or harvest, cold or heat, summer or winter, day or night, in God's Word, within the shadow of His wings, in the shelter of His promises we are safe.
