God's unchanging nature

"'Yet,' says Moses, 'though we are always changing, Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place throughout all generations.'

The Christian knows no change with regard to God. He may be rich to-day and poor to-morrow; he may be sickly to-day and well to-morrow; he may be in happiness to-day, to-morrow he may be distressed—but there is no change with regard to his relationship to God. If He loved me yesterday, He loves me to-day. My unmoving mansion of rest is my blessed Lord. Let prospects be blighted; let hopes be blasted; let joy be withered; let mildews destroy everything; I have lost nothing of what I have in God. He is 'my strong habitation whereunto I can continually resort.' I am a pilgrim in the world, but at home in my God. In the earth I wander, but in God I dwell in a quiet habitation."

God is our refuge; though our lives and our circumstances change, the people around us come and go, we change location, He gives or takes away, He is still God! He is our portion and should be the fountain of our joy. We should be so content to just abide in Christ and not ponder the cares of this world. If only I could learn this with God's help!
