Changes

We all have changes in our lives. From day to day we need God to help us get through whatever may come our way. Some days we may be shouting, "Praise God!" while other days we may be crying out, "I need a miracle!" Whatever a day may bring, changes will come and we need to have a godly mindset in order to handle them.

I keep thinking about all the changes that are going on in my life. People leaving the church for one reason or another, the constant transitions resulting from that fallout, and the troubled world around us. Everything changes whether we like it or not. The good news is Christ Has A New
Gift Each Second for those who trust Him.

We can look at each new day and even each second as an opportunity for God to bless us. Each moment contains a gift from God. It can be in a smile from someone at work, an encouraging word from a friend, God's Word speaking to our hearts, or a pat on the back from our bosses. Maybe it's a promotion, good report cards from our children, an unexpected financial blessing, a whole week without something breaking in the house, or good health.

In Malachi 3:6, God says, "For I am the Lord, I change not."

Praise God! With all the changes in life there's one thing that cannot change and that is Him. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

He also says in Hebrews 6:18:
"So God has given us both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can take new courage, for we can hold on to his promise with confidence."

What God promised you He will deliver. He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you, no matter what which is a promise you can rely on.

"For the Lord will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance" (Psalm 94:14, KJV).

"...for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5, KJV).

So let the changes come. i refuse to walk in fear, but in faith! I will trust God with all the changes, and know that He is more than able to help me and that He even has plans to bless me. Every second, if need be, I can find a blessing. Changes can be our friend, so let's not forget to look for God in them.
