These days the average tenure in a job is 3 years and 4 months. More people than ever before, even into the older workforce, are retraining,
career changing, home moving, and shifting from employment to self-employment (and back!). (McCrindle – Job Mobility in Australia).
That can play out across all sorts of things that we engage in.
We often speak about seasons, seasons for this and for that. We move from one thing to another so easily. So what is being proposed in this
word is almost counter cultural. God invites us to a faith and an expression of faith that continues right throughout our lives. He calls us
to keep our eyes fixed on the long game, on Jesus, our pioneer and perfecter of faith. He calls us to never give up sharing the faith – even
as our lives change and our bodies age.
Even when things are changing in our lives, we are part of a wider unchanging reality. We are part of the eternal kingdom of heaven that
lasts forever.
