Change

“Change”

Written by ~Sandy Blaser

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

(Ecclesiastes 3)

Ever catch yourself thinking…  ”Nothing ever stays the same”?  How true!  We live in a world of “Change”.  The evidence of change is all around us: Spring becomes Summer … Summer becomes Fall…Fall becomes Winter…Winter becomes Spring.  Nothing stays the same!  New birth begins…young become aged…new becomes old…old passes away.  The Weaker become stronger…the stronger become weaker, etc.

Sometimes change can be exciting or may even be downright scary at times! But, God has a purpose in all things… “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

Change is definitely a part of life and can be quite good!  It stretches and challenges one, causing our faith to grow through trials and tribulations of life.  We as Christians go through some of the greatest changes.First we are blind…now we can see; we were dead…but now alive!  And in all our sinfulness, God continues to change our hearts, our attitudes, and our desires. But there is one thing we can always count on…GOD is unchangeable!  HIS love is everlasting to everlasting!  HIS Word and HIS Promises are “Yes & Amen”!!

So no matter how uncomfortable change may be, let us make the best of each season of our lives. Remember God has made everything beautiful in His time. Everything has its purpose, even the dark cold winter storms that bring torrential rains. Sometimes we must wait with patience for the full disclosure of God’s divine intervention. But even in those times let us learn to simply trust in Him.  After all, He knows our lives from the beginning…. to the end.
