Learn to Embrace Change

 

By Andrea Merrell


To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV

 

“I don’t like this,” the woman said to me. “My life used to be so simple. I just want everything to stay the same.”


Change is inevitable. We all resist it from time to time, but it’s the only constant we can count on. People change. Rules change. Situations change, sometimes for the good, sometimes not. But the more we resist—and try to hold on to the past—the harder it becomes to go forward, grow in our faith, and maintain our peace.


This world is in a constant, ever-evolving state of transformation, but God and His Word never change. The Bible says He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). His Word is forever settled in heaven (Psalm 119: 89). And when we give our hearts and lives to Him, our name is forever engraved on the palms of His hands (Isaiah 49:16).


Seasons come and seasons go. There is a time and purpose for everything. Don’t fight the changes in your life. Embrace them and trust God for the outcome.

  1. Very hard....you have to let go of the past first before any big change can be accepted

    1. Absolutely. Both are hard ... letting go of the past and embracing change, but it's the only way we grow. Thanks so much for your comment. Blessings! :)
