One of the challenges of life is learning how to deal with change. Most of us don't like change. We like to stay in our comfort zones. But our world is in a constant state of change. Think back over your own life at how much has changed in the world since you've been alive. Think of how many things have changed in your own personal life since ten years ago. Well, even though life and the world and we are in a constant state of change, God isn't. The Bible says, "I am the Lord, I do not change" (Malachi 3:6 NKJV).
When we are facing change, we need to remember that God is far bigger than any difficult change we may be facing. So in those times we need to put our faith in the One who does not change.
We can not stop the changes that come our way. We may try to avert some, but change is always happening around us. Eric Hoffer said,"In a time of drastic change, it is the learners who inherit the future".
Even though change can be scary at times we have to remember that God will allow times of change in our lives so that our trust and faith will be in Him and not in ourselves. Change also helps us to grow as human beings as well as in our relationship with God.
When change comes into our lives let's remember that the Bible says,"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV). Let's also find comfort in the truth that "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8 NKJV).
