CHANGE 

 

And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
Isaiah 58:11     

 


 

Every day of our lives brings circumstances that require us to adapt, to change.  As long as we hold on to our faith in God, we understand that He will direct our path, and there is no need for fear.  Beyond faith and trust in a higher power, we can control our reaction to change by our attitude toward it.

 

It is helpful to think of change as a process of growth.  When we accept a new job, when we decide to pursue a lifelong dream, we embrace change. 

 

Here is a way to make change an integral part of our lives.  Accept and embrace learning as a daily occurrence.  If you encounter a new idea, investigate it instead of immediately putting it down.  Although you may still have issues with the idea, at least your research will permit you to learn more about how it evolved. 

 

Every situation, bad and good, is a learning opportunity.  The more you know, the less intimidated you will be by change.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 

Proverbs 8:20
