Change.
Change can be good. Change could be bad.
But most often, change isn't necessarily all good or all bad. Change is usually nothing more than, well, change. It's a mixed bag sometimes eliciting just as many supporters as naysayers.
We often resist change because we fear the unknown. We like things the way they were before. We knew what to expect. But then change comes along and our world is different. We can't as easily predict what will happen. We have a new learning curve . We have to adjust our thinking, our way of life, how we do things, or even our schedule. We become afraid of what might be. And if we are not careful, our inflexibility can prevent us from enjoying positive change.
Yet, as unsettling as change is, we can always count on change. Change happens. It's a given in this life.
Change can take flight in the wind just as we think we've got it by the tail. Or it can dig in and stand it's ground, demanding it's way. Change is always just around the next corner, waiting to happen.
How we face change reflects our character and convictions. In some cases,we fight change kicking and screaming but sooner or later, change still comes. We might have victory over change, for a little while at least, but it still comes. We may mold change into what we want it to be or think it should be,but it still comes.
Change is inevitable. But ultimately, change must answer to the Only ONE who holds real power for change.
If you are facing a lot of changes in your life and you are feeling as if you have no power over those changes, know that Christ does have the power. In Him you will find strength and power to overcome change (or anything else that is thrown your way)!
Trust in Christ today!
"...Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world." ~Jesus (John 16:33)

PS - There's been a lot of change in my life over the past several years but Jesus Christ has been my rock and fortress throughout it all. You can count on Him...I guarantee it!
