We're lucky not to be impacted by the gas shortages here, but I remember a few times in my life where I was in that spot. It's easy to take for granted that there's always gas at the gas station, until there isn't... and then you wonder what you'll do. I remember one long drive from Atlanta to Chattanooga, the car near empty, stopping at every exit in hopes of finding gas, and the feeling of relief when I finally discovered a station with a pump turned on. What was once reliable was no longer so...
We take for granted many things we can rely upon in life. Sometimes it is a job or a car. Other times it is a person. We simply assume they'll always be there, and then one day, they're not. Everything in this life fades away over time. Entropy says things fall apart over time, trending towards chaos, meaning nothing can be relied upon forever.
And then we find God, who can be relied upon forever, whose word is always true, whose love is always faithful, whose promises are certain day after day after day. Friends, do not take this for granted -- may we rejoice today and tomorrow and forevermore that God's Word is faithful and true, that though everything else may fall away, God is forever reliable and will never disappoint.
