Why God Loves to Lead You Through Uncomfortable Life Changes
Isn't
it reassuring to know that we serve a God who never changes?! He is always the
same, yesterday, today and tomorrow!
He is
always loving, infinitely merciful and unchangingly faithful.
God's character remains the
same throughout every year, every decade, every century and every epoch.
Whoever He was to your
parents and your grandparents, He will also be to you.
He is
the same powerful God who led Moses across the Red Sea, was with Daniel in the
lion's den and heard the prayer of Hannah.
That same God is well able to
lead you through raging waters, to be with you in ferocious situations and He
also answers your heartfelt prayers.
We
serve a God who is infinitely kind, inexhaustibly good and eternally creative.
Our God never changes.
However,
He is also a God who loves change!
He loves to stir up
situations, events and people with transition and development.
He moved Abraham out of his
comfort zone, He took Joseph into Egypt, and He made David an unsuspecting king.
God
placed Esther in the palace, He took Ruth from Moab to Bethlehem and He led His
chosen people right into the Promised Land.
God
loves change.
I
believe God's people are entering a season of Holy Spirit transitions and
God-ordained change.
I believe that God is
stirring the waters of your life for His decided outcome.
I believe God is taking His
people out of comfort zones, out of expected plans and away from average
Christianity.
God loves to get His disciples out of the
boat. God stirs things up so He can stir up something new in you.
God longs for you to trust in
Him and not in your own preferences; that is the very reason He loves to cause
change.
Your
dependency should always be on Him and on His character rather than on your own
strengths, your chosen course in life or your preferred surroundings.
Prepare for change!
Enlarge the stakes of your tent, throw
off the extraneous and lift your focus to heaven.
Be ready to move when God
says, "Move!"
Be ready to for change when
God says, "Now!"
When
the winds of change blow in a believer's life, it is always for God's greater
purpose and divine plan.
Don't look back or long for
yesterday.
Determine that with God, you
can move from the mundane to the unexpected and the glorious.
Today is a day of great change, and God
is calling His disciples to cross the Jordan River.
Will you be one who has the
courage to move forward regardless of the cost? Or will you stay on the safe
side of the Jordan River?
We
serve a God who never changes, but He loves change!
