Life can be unpredictable. Events occur that force us to make changes – sometimes quickly and unexpectedly. Some are able to adjust and recover quickly. Others are able to accommodate the changes with a little effort and time. However, some are not able to respond to the changes that certain situations demand.
As Christians, we have to remember that we can do all things
through Christ. In our Christian walk, though, there are times when God will require us to make changes as
we strive to live for Him.
Pass
through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for
within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land,
which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it. Josh 1:11 (KJV)
Israel was
preparing to enter into Canaan. For forty years, they have received bread from
heaven, but now they had to go and gather their own food. They had to change
their approach to living as they entered into God’s promises.
If we are to
receive certain things from the Lord and progress in our relationship with Him,
we will have to change our way of doing certain things. At this time in your
life, take inventory. Are there things in your life that He is challenging you
to change or modify? If so, do not resist it. Though work is involved, it will
bless you in this life.
Prayer
of the Week:
“God, give me strength to make the
necessary move and adjustments in my life. I thank you that your plans for me
are for good. Amen.”
