Have you ever found yourself in a new season of life? If your seasons are changing now, are you having a hard time finding your new balance?
As we move from summer to fall, God is faithful to reveal a few things through the transition:
Change is good
Nature is changing her gown all around us. Shedding what she doesn’t need and preparing for what’s to come. Are we doing that too? Are we embracing the changes in our lives or are we clinging to the fallen “leaves” of the past?
Change takes time
Whether it is subtle or more sudden, change happens all the time. When changes occur, it may take a minute to establish a new ‘normal’. Like it or not, we must accommodate the change in our behavior. When we are resistant to change, we rarely find balance and usually lack peace.
Change is necessary
One of my favorite life quotes is “I may not be where I’m going, but I’m not where I was.” Amen? Praise God that we’re not the same person we were when He found us! We had to change. God is refining us moment by moment. Some of the changes are easy, others take longer and are painful. But all are necessary. God loves us too much to leave us where we are.
Watching the world shift from summer to fall reminds us that change will always be for the better. We may not like it or even agree with it but if it’s ordained by God, we can trust the result will be magnificent!
Be blessed!
