Change Is A Good Thing

"To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up.”(Ecclesiastes 3:1-3) NKJV

Change can oftentimes be difficult. Yet, we all know that change is necessary at times. As believers, we know that GOD does not change; but we also must acknowledge that GOD uses change to humble us and make us better. We don't like change becuase it forces us to do things differently. Many times we resist change because we have become accumstomed to certain habits and certain results. It is GOD that will force change on us to remind us that it is HIM we must rely on. GOD will change your income to force you to trust in HIM as provider. GOD will change your location and put you in a foreign land so that you rely on HIS guidance and direction. GOD will change your friendships and relationships so that you will reinforce your relationship with HIM. Ecclesiastes says to everything there is a season. If you are experiencing change in your life, don't get mad or frustrated. Actually, this is a time to celebrate because if GOD is causing the change; HE already knows how you will come out on the other side. GOD wants you to know that HE is forcing change in your life because change is a good thing.
