Change

“Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” by John Maxwell.

Hebrews 13:8 - “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

Change is always a challenge. And change is even more difficult when it’s imposed on us suddenly or without our approval.

But change can also have positive outcomes. The Bible is full of stories regarding men and women overcoming change and difficulties in order to receive the blessings that positive change brought into their lives.

Change requires faith in a Christian’s life, over and over again. The question is: Is faith a part of our life or is faith our life? When faith is just a part of our lives, we do just enough not to feel guilty. Or, when faith is OUR life, then we can’t do enough for God.

I can’t recall one change in my life that didn’t have some pain with it. But, I do know that during some of life’s changes, although painful, I trusted God with the outcome. I put my faith to test and accepted the challenge before me and persevered with God at my side.

Looking back at the times when the most changes took place, I can see where I had my most growth in my relationship with God.

Make your change from part-time faith to full-time faith.

Change will come. Will you accept the challenge and join me in living by faith in God to grow our character?
