Many times, when we grow weary or simply become bored with a situation, we get restless and begin to pray: “Oh, God! Something has to change!” Then, when God tries to bring change into our lives, we say, “Lord, what are You doing? I don’t think I can take this change!” We often find ourselves caught in the tension between wanting change and fearing change. Thank God, He never changes. Because He is always the same, we can trust Him through any changing circumstances or situations. Heb. 13: 8 says: “Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).” And God Himself speaks in Mal. 3: 6, saying: “For I am the Lord, I do not change.” This should give us great courage and comfort when we face changes in our lives. We do not need to fear change; we can handle it, because God remains the same. Remember, the fear of change could keep something wonderful from taking place for you. I urge you to not let that happen, but to boldly embrace the changes that come your way. Without change there is no growth, and anything that is not growing is dying. Change is a fact of life and the more we fear and resist it, the more we are resisting God. As I noted earlier, God Himself does not change, but He definitely changes people, circumstances, and things.
