The last few nights the air has felt cooler, the breeze crisp, and there’s a rustling of leaves that are on the move. Change is on the horizon. The beautiful metamorphosis of the seasons. Leaving behind the scorching heat of summer and embracing the refreshing winds of fall.
Change is inevitable.
Change can be painful.
Change provides the opportunity to embrace the extraordinary.
“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” - Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NLT)
Without change, we’d have no growth. No experience of newness. No new birth. No new life. No new love. Without change we can easily become stuck in our ways, stubborn to open ourselves up to new opportunities, possibilities and adventures. While God in His Sovereignty is the same, yesterday, today and forever, (ref. Hebrew 13:8), we fall short of such status. But, in God’s great love for us, He doesn’t leave us in the state that we receive Him as Lord and Saviour of our lives. Jesus, His Word and His Spirit are the life-change that our spirit’s been craving – longing to be in deep intimacy with our Creator.
His love draws us to change. And the seasons are just a magnificent reminder of His deep love, admiration and pursuit of us. God’s timing for change, is always the right time. Never early or too late, but always perfectly the best time.
May our lives embrace the change that God wants to do in and through our lives. May we surrender at each instruction, and joyfully run to what His best is for us. May we set our eyes fully on Him, knowing that whatever change is on the horizon, He will be the constant throughout every season of life.
Great words. There can be such fear of change we can forget God is there, he will not abandon us. He is there to see us through the seasons of change.
