EMBRACING TRANSITION

[FAITH]

"The Lord blessed the latter part of Job's life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys."  - Job 42:12 NIV

 

From time to time we actually have to come out of one undertaking completely before God can transition us to the next assignment. Something that is closing in our lives can make us feel like we are out of control, going to shipwreck, or worse yet, never able to rebound.

 

Sometimes our calendars, schedules, and plans just don't line up with where God wants to take us any more, so He decides to change our course.

 

"Guide me in Your truth and teach me, for You are God my Savior, and my hope is in You all day long."  - Psalm 25:5 NIV

 

God knows what you are about to walk through and He is already prepared for it. Don't be afraid to share how you really feel with Him. He wants to hear what you have to say about it. At first it can feel breathtaking and even fearful, but God is there. He is in the heights, the depths, and the small steps of faith you are about to take.

 

STEPPING OUT OF THE BOAT

 

Some of the steps ahead will be like walking on water. Unfortunately, we don't get to pick the visibility of the water or the depth of the ocean that the Lord asks us to step out on.

 

"Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?"  - Psalm 139:7 NIV

 

Rest assured that God never closes a door unless He intends on opening something else for you. He will not leave you abandoned!

 

"Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in Me will not be disappointed" (Isaiah 49:23 NIV).
