“Do not fear change, for I am making you a NEW CREATION, with old things passing away and NEW THINGS continually on the horizon.” 2 Corinthians 5:17
When we seek, search, pray, and ask God for direction, His response isn’t always to just give us what we’re asking for. He might want us to learn something or change something along the way. But, fear not! He’s a patient God: He will give us all the chances we need to get it right. He’s a giving God: He will provide us with all of the tools we need. He’s a forgiving God: He won’t give up on us when we don’t respond in obedience to His callings. He’s a loving God: He wants the very best for us.
We have to be willing to make changes when it’s change we are asking for from God. As we learned in my last post, “He will never leave you or forsake you,” Joshua 1:5b and each every new day we are invited to take the next step. And when you feel unsure what that next step is, ask God to open your eyes. Most likely, His answer will come in the most unexpected way- but you will KNOW it’s from Him.
“When you cling to old ways and sameness, you resist my work within you. I want you to embrace all that I am doing in your life, finding security in Me alone.” Jesus Calling (Daily Devotion: February 17), Sarah Young.
I encourage you to take a deep breath and surrender yourself into the loving arms of our Father. He’s got big plans for you.
