“You know in a wheel there is one portion that never turns round, that stands steadfast, and that is the axle. So, in God’s Providence there is an axle which never moves. Christian, here is a sweet thought for thee! Thy state is ever changing: sometimes thou art exalted, and sometimes depressed; yet there is an unmoving point in thy state.
What is that axle? What is the pivot upon which all the machinery revolves? It is the axle of God’s everlasting love towards his covenant people. The exterior of the wheel is changing; but the centre stands forever fixed. Other things may move; but God’s love never moves; it is the axle of the wheel, and will endure.” (Charles Spurgeon – Daily Help Devotional)
An excellent reminder that the center (God) stands fixed forever but our exterior changes! It is good to know that whatever else is happening in and around us, God remains unchangeable and immovable. We can count on God to be the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
