Confidence in Transition

Transitions are a normal part of life and they happen every day. In the morning we transition from darkness to light and each night we know that God always brings daylight every morning. 

Transitions may feel overwhelming, and times of change often bring uncertainty, but we must always remember that our Heavenly Father remains constant. "For I, the LORD do not change..." (Malachi 3:6). Our God is unwavering in His loving direction of our lives, always guiding us through the stormy seas of life.

In times of upheaval, when we feel as if we are standing on shifting sands, it is crucial to remember that God is our rock, our firm foundation. Psalm 18:2 says, "The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." He steadies us, supports us, and secures us, even when everything around us is in flux. 

Think about Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This means that God is actively working in our lives, transforming our chaos into order, our confusion into clarity. He is the divine weaver, intricately and purposefully intertwining each thread of our lives to create a beautiful tapestry of His love.

In moments of change, we must remember that His plans for us are always good. Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." He encourages us with the promise of a hopeful future, a testament of His endless love for us.

We can confidently embrace change with faith, courage, and peace, knowing that our Lord and Savior is in control. He loves us, encourages us, and stabilizes our chaos. In times of transition, we should hold onto His unchanging hand, secure in His unwavering love and guidance. Our God is in control, today, tomorrow, and always.

PRAYER: Lord, take us through the darkness and uncertainty of transition.  We trust you for your new day, which you always bring.  In Jesus' name amen!
