Got Change?

Romans 5:3-5 (NLT)

3 We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 4 And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. 5 And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.

I love the name of our upcoming game show, "Got Change?"

You may have heard somewhere before that, "The One Constant Thing in Life is Change" and "With Every Change, Comes Resistance." How ironically true.

Many of us see Changes as a form of "problem" or "trial". But truth is, every problem and trial provides for us an opportunity to grow and the key to this growth is Endurance.

If today you're hearing God's voice in your life to make changes to your lifstyle and you're looking at it with a bit of hesistancy, I want you to know that our God is in the business of Change. Good Change.

So don't resist it, Embrace it. If it seems a tad uncomfortable, Endure it.

He changed:
Fisher-men to fisher of men (Peter, Andrew)
Prisoner to 2nd to the King (Jospeh)
Shepherd Boy to the King of Israel (David)
Physical Blindness to Spiritual Awakenig (Saul to Paul)
Insignificant to significant (the woman who spent her perfume on Jesus)
Smallest in the Tribe to Great Warrior (Gideon)
Despised to Adored (Jephthah)

There are many more stories in the Bible of how God has changed the Unloved to Loved, the

Lost to Found, Trapped to Set Freed, Seeming Losses to Victories.

So let God take over. Trust in His Heart and His Plans. For he knows the plans He has for you and He works for the good of those who love him. (Jer 29:11, Rom 8:28)

In a matter of 4 months, this year will be over but before that, we still have 20 weeks to go. Remember, don't resist the change, Embrace it, Endure it. Have you "Got Change?"
