Change

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

~Ecclesiastes 3:1

 

         Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall-the season's that affect the world in more ways than one. Depending on what region you abide, the season's can be celebrated or dreaded, but either way they come and it is something that we all have no choice but to accept. Some have the means and the flexibility to move to the area where their season is at its peak, but that is marginal. No matter the choice that is made, one thing is for sure, the season's will continue to change and we can adapt or move.

       

         Like the season's of the earth, so is the season's of our lives. As long as we live we can be sure of one thing-change. Change will come and we can accept it or move to our desired places, but even within that choice, there is change. We can not avoid, run, hide, or deny change, it is inevitable, and we can be sure we will be affected. How we respond to the change is what helps the season's of our lives become amazing opportunities. We all have read or heard the statement, "our attitude determines our altitude," well I would like to put a spin on that statement and say, "change gives altitude to our attitude."

 

           You see we can't see where adjustments need to be made within us, unless change comes, season's if you will. When change enters into our sphere our attitude will be based on what has always been within us, change will reveal that. Change will bring the bubbles to the top and it is how we deal with these surfaced attitudes that will give way to celebration or dread. Indeed some changes can blow us over, make us want to "run for the border," but the attitude that will navigate us into acceptance is the one that will lead us to greater peace.

 

            Yahweh uses change or circumstances to speak to us. He knows that until we are trained well in the area of "walking by faith and not by sight" (2Corinthians 5:7), that He's message of love and grace can easily be overlooked and rejected. So changes are opportunities Yahweh uses often to share His heart. The season's of our lives can be great blessings if they bring us closer to the One whose arms are always open to us. Yes, we do see moral growth in many that go through great change, but the change that brings eternal good to any life, is a change worth celebrating.

 

             Many of us are in different season's in our lives. Change has come and choices must be made. Our real attitude has made its way to the surface, now we see a little clearer the content of our hearts-bless the LORD. Now what to do? May I suggest we Stop, Look, and Listen. Yahweh is speaking to us and His message is of love.  He wants our hearts, but our sin will not allow Him to abide. He has remedied that through His Son and wants us with Him through every season of our lives. Change can be a good thing if it leads to eternal blessings. Change can be celebrated if it gives us a new heart.

 

             Father, thank You for speaking to us through change. We know that some change is harder to accept then others, especially the change that causes us to see the real attitudes of our hearts. We are fallen human beings and You knowing this have made the perfect sacrifice for our souls-Jesus. For every change that made us harder, forgive us. For every change that made us run, forgive us. For every change that caused us to turn from You, forgive us. We need You Father and ask that You will forgive us and make us whole again. Build us up, so that no matter what the season we will stay faithful to You, our Strength and Redeemer. Thank you for the change that has brought us closer to You and has brought more compassion into our heart's for other's. May Your holy name be forever glorified through our lives, in Jesus Name. Amen.
