This is a season of change.
It's turning cold, the colors of the leaves are changing, and God is at work.
When I think about change, it scares me. I feel like where I'm at now is perfectly comfortable and enjoyable. But change is necessary.
Change is the language of the gospel.
Christ came down to take us out of death into life.
Our sanctification is a process of becoming less like our old self and more like who we already are in God's eyes.
Change is a gift from God. It is essential, because we are fallen, broken people.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change." -James 1:17
Between college decisions and being convicted about being intentional in living out my life in a way that glorifies God, the changes that are beginning to take place in my life are painful. But God is doing something awesome. And what's extremely cool about it is that I can see him at work at large in the community of believers I'm connected with at school and church. It truly is a season of change for so many people, and I believe so many hearts are ripe for revival and change right now. I can't wait to see what happens.
There is someone who is infinitely perfect, and cannot become any more perfect. He does not require change. And he is our rock and fortress when we are drowning in change and can't figure life out.
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." -Hebrews 13:8
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." -Jeremiah 29:11
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
