I got up late today - I was enjoying the last few minutes I could in my own bed before starting my hectic day. I'd been traveling and while the trip was great, I missed my own pillow and bed... you know - the familiarity and comfort of home. I'd been to a Christian Writers Conference, and while I loved all the stuff I learned and the people I met, I felt a little out of my element - uncomfortable at being enveloped in a new industry - a career change for me.
Change of any kind can be strange, but strange doesn't necessarily mean good or bad - just different from what we're accustomed to, and therefore it can be a little scary to face alone.
We need to remember that while change may not be easy, change is the birthing mother to growth - as well as being the best indicator to life.
If we stop changing/growing, we stifle and die.
Think about it, a flower, a tree, nature of all kinds - our human bodies - a sign of our growth is the change we incur; whether that's growing taller, smarter, older, etc... we change as we grow - as we live.
Psalm 27:1 reads:
" The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life - of whom shall I be afraid?"
So next time you have a change, welcomed or not, focus on the opportunity to grow in the right direction, and live a better life. Talk to God, ask Him to lead you, guide and watch over you. Then trust in Him to do so; you can have faith in the Lord, He is faithful! With God on your side you have nothing to fear from change (or anything else) - He is light and salvation, and wants to be the stronghold of your life. Take Him up on His offer to be with you always, to love you no matter what, and to see you through all of life's trials: accept the gift of Jesus' sacrifice and live as a child of God.
Embrace change, and live in confidence and joy; with God there is nothing to fear!
Be blessed my friends! =)
