Change Happens

Change is inevitable. Some may look at it as negative where some may look at it as positive either way change happens. Perhaps it may be better to look at change as a glass half full versus a glass half empty because although situations seem bad they'll work out for your good (and that's the Word). Why is change necessary? The world constantly changes; therefore, you must constantly change. Worldly changes affects how the devil attacks you, but it doesn't change why he attacks nor does it change the outcome of God's plan for you. One thing that is comforting is the One person that will never change, God; however, he does sometimes cause change.

Everyone that is instrumental in the Bible went through some type of change once God stepped on the scene; whether it has been within themselves or just a change in environment. Moses was called out of his comfortable environment on a journey to a new place; he constantly experienced change within himself and the scenery. Job experience change in that he had once been a rich, healthy man but was changed into a poor ill man. David was changed from nobody into somebody. And here we have Paul, on his journey to shut down the chatter of Jesus Christ and Jesus appeared before Him and completely changed him; name included.

Let's not cringe at the idea of change, but instead welcome it because change is good no matter what it looks like. We're all on a life journey, as Saul was, be ready for a change when God steps on the scene. Change is growth so when God changes your situation don't hesitate, just go with it. Trust Him, that's one aspect of our faith that we have to constantly remind ourselves to do. If you're in a bad situation today just know that change happens and you could very well be in a better situation tomorrow. Contrary to that, if you're in a good situation today change happens and you could very well be in a worse situation tomorrow. Neither of us is exempt to change nor can we change change, but we can change how we experience it. Change doesn't change the fact that God is God and He is in control. Change just happens!
