Psalm 119:81-96

It took me about 2 minutes to read this passage. Fashions baffle me. I am not interested in clothing fashions, so my wardrobe is far from contemporary. I didn't know that there were dining fashions until a few years ago. I couldn't name one local or global fashion model's name since Twiggy. And I'm sure that there are other areas of life with their own level of fashion, of which I am completely oblivious. It seems like fashions change overnight. For those who seek the latest "whatever" there is something new available every week. In the Message, verse 90 points out the God's word is always in fashion. That is because the truth is always the truth; it never changes. Subsequently God's word is not subject to change either. Though that can be frustrating, it is very reassuring. I can go to God knowing he will be the same today as he was in Abraham's day, as he will be in the day of my trouble. That is the kind of stability that I need in a life that is ever changing and provides no security or persistent hope.
