You Have Not Passed This Way Before
New seasons come in all of our lives. This is a time when things change and what was once familiar looks different. Whether it’s a job, a house, a relationship, or a career----if you have not passed that way before, it’s new to you.
One of the biggest obstacles to accepting change is fear---- simply because we’ve never been there before. Many questions arise… “Do I go back to what was familiar, comfortable and safe or do I journey through the “unknown” on my way to my ‘next destination’?”
Many times during transition we feel pressure….mental, physical and even spiritual pressure. This pressure can actually work for us. The reality is with change comes a pressure that causes us to stretch. We stretch in our trust in God as we depend and rely more on Him. Our confidence is stretched as we focus more on our God-given purpose. Our faith is also stretched causing us to not give up but instead stay the course to our new destination.
You may be feeling “pressured” from all sides today. Let me encourage you to let the circumstances that could “suffocate” you to be the very situations that strengthen you and raise you to a new level…..
You go it is so good that God is the king

ReplyDeletePastor Maribel these words are so true. It doesn't matter how young or old we are but that we are willing to step out of our comfort zones as did the diciples and follow our Lord! It is true that it can be fearful but we can do all things through our Lord who gives the strength! We serve an amazing God!
