All Change down here

 

No helicopter from Dyce to Balmoral for the resigning Prime Minister this morning. Thunderstorms were forecast. For safety reasons, he was ferried by car to see the Queen and tender his resignation.

No helicopter from Dyce to Balmoral for the newly-elected Prime Minister either. Thunderstorms. She, too, was whipped up to Balmoral through the drenching downpours.

This was the fifteenth Prime Minister Queen Elizabeth II has invited to form a new government. The first time from Balmoral, where she lingers on, experiencing, at 96, some mobility challenges.

The new and the old. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, but only the triune God doesn’t change, doesn’t age, doesn’t grow weary and worn.

Queen Elizabeth has invited fifteen individuals to lead the nation she presides over. God invites all his children to lead the world back to him.

May I marvel in the honour of this undeserved position, and not live carelessly, casually, or selfishly.
