The sports world was ready when Peyton Manning announced he would be leaving the Indianapolis Colts yesterday, but it was still a shock to hear him utter those words. What does it say about a four time NFL MVP (most in NFL history) who also won a Super Bowl with his team, to be cut (released the more PC term) after 14 seasons with the same organization? It underscores that nothing lasts in this world. It suggests that people will only keep you around when you can benefit their needs. It's a cold world, folks!
But this also highlights the importance of placing our trust in the proper Person. God is described in the Bible as a Rock. That means that He is solid, constant, unchanging, reliable, and dependable. Consider these passages:
"The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge." - Psalm 18:2
Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[a]; trust also in me.- John 14:1
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." - Hebrews 13:8
The seasons change, but God is consistent. People's motives change, but God is trustworthy. The economy fluctuates, people lose jobs, and families have to move to new neighborhoods, but God is still God! This is Good News for the person who decides to turn his or her life over to the Great I AM! :
Who do you trust?
