Are You Facing Changes #19

Throughout the Bible God asked His people to make changes in their lives. Most of them found it difficult as you probably do also. And yet God’s plans were always the best. Jacob found God calling him to Egypt. It was certainly not his first choice, but along with the call came the promise.

Genesis 46:3-4
3 And He said, "I am God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you a great nation there.
4 "I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also surely bring you up again; (NAS)

God will never call you or ask you to make a change that He will not also provide. Change is difficult because of the fear of the unknown; you are out of your comfort zone; it interrupts your routine and is sometimes painful. For a believer change is embraced through the exercise of your faith. Take God at His word and follow even if it requires major change.

Are you facing some changes? Maybe it is job related; maybe it is a relationship, or a ministry that God is calling you to make a change. The answer to God’s direction in your life is obedience. Remember God is always with you. Make the change in confidence and faith, and praise God for the outcome.

I hope you find purpose for your life today as you grow in Christ. May God bless you as your spiritual life prospers in Jesus.
