Our Lord Never Changes
Hebrews 13:8-9a and the Way to Andrew’s Glacier, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.![Rocks and boulder along the way to Andrew’s Glacier, Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado and Hebrews 13:8-9a Jesus never changes “](http://visualverse.thecreationspeaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/0907-RMP-01-02-Aurora-940x628.jpg)
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Do not be carried away by varied and strange teachings; for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace.” Hebrews 13:8-9a
God Never Changes
Everything changes. Mountain seem stable, but one only needs to look at a mountain’s boulder field to know that mountain is slowly crumbling. Certainly things, like the glacier in the upper right of this photograph, are even less stable than the mountain.
If mountains are unstable, how much more unstable are the philosophies, religions and governments of this world. They all change and crumble away. Only God and His Word never change.
No matter what goes on in the world, remember Jesus never changes and neither should the source of our faith. Stick to the teaching of God’s word. Man’s teaching can lead us astray. Focus on the Bible. It forever remains true!

God My Rock of Strength
Psalm 18:1, 2 and Rock Formations Palo Duro Canyon, Texas.![The rock cliffs of Palo Duro Canyon, Texas and Psalm 18:1, 2 Bible verse God my rock](http://visualverse.thecreationspeaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/1210-PDC-02-01_Aurora-940x628.jpg)
“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” Psalm 18:1, 2
King David Declared, “God My Rock”
In the Bible’s Book of Psalm’s King David called God a rock 12 times. A study of the life of David shows that the fact he called God his rock is very significant. David conquered many foes and was a victorious warrior and king, yet this victorious warrior and conquering king called God his rock.
David lived a life filled with courage, strength and fortitude that most man would admire, yet he held to God as his ultimate source. King David knew that to rely on God is not a weakness, but our greatest source of strength.

Spiritual Blessings of the Heavenly Realms
Ephesians 1:3 and Wild Phlox Flowers, Fontenelle Forest, Nebraska.![Purple wild phlox flower blooms, Fontenelle Forest, Nebraska. Visual Bible Verse of the Day: Ephesians 1:3, every spiritual blessing](http://visualverse.thecreationspeaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/2205-FTF-05-04_Aurora-940x628.jpg)
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 1:3
Every Spiritual Blessing
Flowers are a blessing from God. When we take time to appreciate their beauty instead of just walking by them, we realize that some of the little things in life make it richer.
Far greater than the blessings of flowers, or anything else in this world, are the spiritual blessings received through Christ. As a result of Christ’s death on the cross, God adopted us and made us His own. By His grace, He blesses us with so much. His forgiveness is just a start. I don’t think we can really comprehend what it means to receive “every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.”
Praise God for the little bits of beauty He gives us here and for the amazing blessings He’ll give us in eternity.

The seas
Genesis 1:9-10 and Morning light on the Rocky Coast of Acadia National Park, Maine.
![Otter Cliffs on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Acadia National Park, Maine and Genesis 1 Bible verse God created the seas](http://visualverse.thecreationspeaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Acadia-Bay-Otter-Cliffs-Sunrise-July-3-II-940x628.jpg)
“And God said, ‘Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.’ And it was so. God called the dry ground ‘land,’ and the gathered waters he called ‘seas.’ And God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:9-10
The Seas and God’s Creation
The sunrise first hits the United States along the shoreline of Maine’s Acadia National Park. In the Bible’s Book of Genesis chapter 1 we learn about when God first created the world and the seas. He created the world in a perfect fashion that we and all His creatures would find life in it.
From the greatest of the seas to smallest cell, He perfectly fined tuned each little detail for us. Praise Him.

The Lord Will Grant Peace
Haggai 2:9 and The Sky Reflects off a Lake at Sunset, Orlando Wetlands Park, Central Florida.![The Sky Reflects off a Lake at Sunset, Orlando Wetlands Park, Central Florida and Haggai 2:9 Bible Verse God, grant peace](http://visualverse.thecreationspeaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/0409-OWL-02-02_Aurora-940x628.jpg)
“The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the LORD Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the LORD Almighty.” Haggai 2:9
Grant Peace
70 years after the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem, also known as Solomon’s Temple, Zerubbabel (a descendent of David) led the Jews to build a second temple. Compared to the Solomon’s Temple, it wasn’t much of anything. But God promised them that glory of the second temple would be greater than the first.
After King Herod finished adding to the second temple, it definitely was more glorious than the first. Not only that, Christ Himself physically entered the second temple, but it is possible that this prophecy is alluding to a temple more spiritual in nature. The prophecy may truly be fulfilled in the person Christ. When God grants peace in Christ, that peace surpasses all other peace.
Dear Lord, grant us your peace today and everyday. May we trust in You and someday may we enjoy the glory of Your eternal house.
