Life's Changes
There is one thing in life that we can
count on, and that is change. We
can fight it, resist it, or even run
from it, but change is constant part
of this life. Weather from erosion
of time, are a traumatic happening,
people change. Relationships change,
jobs changes, technology changes.
Life indeed can be described as a
process of continual change. Some
changes are positive, a new friend,
a new house, a financial windfall.
Others are negative, a tragic loss,
a job layoff, just to name a few. All
of these cause a change to take place in
our lives. The Bible teaches two
great truths about change. The first,
is that despite the changing world
around us. God is changeless and
dependable. The second is that God
calls for an inner change of heart, a
call to repentance, that produces an
outer change of lifestyle. That change
causes us to be obedient to God's
word, and to our calling.
Hebrews 1:10-12
"Lord in the beginning you laid the
foundation on earth, and the heavens
are the work of your hands. Even they
will perish, but you remain forever.
They will wear out like clothing.
You will roll them up like old coat.
They will fade away like old clothing.
But you are always the same; you
will never grow old."
Mark 13:31
Heaven and earth will disappear, but
My word will remain forever.
Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes everything to
work together for the good of those
who loves God and are called
according to his purpose for them.
There is one thing that we can count
on, to never change in this ever changing
world, and that is trust in the character
of God, to be unchanging and reliable.
We can always place our faith in
Jesus Christ, whose love and grace
is eternal. Praise God, we can build
our lives on God's Word, it's truth is
changeless. God promises that all thing
will work out for our good{not just
some things, but all things} even if it
is something unpredictable. He can
work his will even in traumatic things,
that seem unfair. For He knows the beginning
and the end results.
Luke 19:8
Zacchaeus stood there and said to
The Lord," I will give half my
Wealth to the poor, Lord and if
I have overcharged people on their
taxes, I will give them back four
times as much!"
John 1:10-11
Then Jesus stood up again and said
To her,' Where are your accusers?
Didn't even one of them condemn
you?" " No Lord " she said. And
Jesus said "neither do I. Go and sin
No more."
Acts3:19
Now turn from your sins and turn to
God, so you can be cleaned of your sins.
We know by reading the word of God,
that we can't even hope to change without
first having an personal encounter
with Jesus. God's call is not just for
a change of heart, but for a change
of behavior. We are not suppose to
change in order to get God approval,
but we should want to change in response
to God love for us. We all know that
God Word will not change us unless we
are willing, and allow Him to penetrate
deep in our hearts. Then, and only then,
will our lives change inside and outside.
We can only begin to change, with true
repentance, sadly to many aren't truly
repentant, and yet they still expect God
to over look this fact. Yes, they can
seem to change, but it isn't a heart change,
so it won't last. But Praise God,
he is faithful to forgive our sins, if we
truly repent then change will come to us.
Father God, your Word tells us that when
we become Christians, we become a new
Person. Let us remember that we are
your witnesses for a lost and dying world.
Let us not forget, that if people can't
see a change in us, they can't see Jesus
in us. Help us Lord, to be all you
expect us to be. Let us desire to
change day by day, help us not to put
what we can change today until tomorrow,
Help us Lord to be honest enough to admit
when we need your Grace in order to change,
Lord give us humility to be a willing vessel
In your hands.
Glory to God The One Who was and
Is to come. Amen & Amen!
