One Thing Never Changes

ONE THING NEVER CHANGES

by HELEN STEINER RICE



THE SEASONS SWIFTLY COME AND GO
AND WITH THEM COMES THE THOUGHT
OF ALL THE VARIOUS CHANGES THAT
TIME IN FLIGHT HAS BROUGHT...
BUT ONE THING NEVER CHANGES,
IT REMAINS THE SAME FOREVER,
GOD TRULY LOVES "HIS CHILDREN" AND HE
WILL FORSAKE THEM NEVER!







O MY STRENGTH, TO YOU I SING PRAISES,
FOR YOU, O GOD, ARE MY REFUGE,
THE GOD WHO SHOWS ME UNFAILING LOVE.



PSALM 59:17
NLT



PROTECT ME AS YOU WOULD PROTECT
YOUR OWN EYE, HIDE ME UNDER THE SHADOW
OF YOUR WINGS.



PSALM 17:8
NCV



O GUARD MY LIFE, AND DELIVER ME;
DO NOT LET ME BE PUT TO SHAME,
FOR I TAKE REFUGE IN YOU.



PSALM 25:20
NRSV



YOUR ARM IS MIGHTY.
YOUR HAND IS STRONG.
YOUR RIGHT HAND IS LIFTED HIGH.



PSALM 89:13
GOD'S WORD



BUT EVEN THE DARKNESS IS NOT DARK TO YOU.
THE NIGHT IS AS LIGHT AS THE DAY;
DARKNESS AND LIGHT ARE THE SAME TO YOU.



PSALM 139:12
NCV



WHEN DARKNESS OVERTAKES THE GODLY,
LIGHT WILL COME BURSTING IN.
THEY ARE GENEROUS, COMPASSIONATE, AND RIGHTEOUS.



PSALM 112:4
NLT



HOW PRECIOUS IS THY LOVING KINDNESS,
O GOD! AND THE CHILDREN OF MEN TAKE
REFUGE IN THE SHADOW OF THY WINGS.



PSALM 36:7
