There are many transitional moments in life that pivot us into new paths and experiences. These moments can seem overwhelming while simultaneously feeling exhilarating, if we look for the good. It is pretty neat how God sprinkles these moments in our lives to keep us on the edge of our seat, out of our comfort zone, and excited about life. When our lives and world change, it is a comfort to know that God never changes. He promised to be near through every phase of our lives and to give us His hope and clarity in the moments when we don’t understand His ways.
“To every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”- Ecclesiastes 3:1
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and forever.”- Hebrews 13:8
More than ever we need to remind ourselves and others that we have a hope beyond this present world and though this world may have uncertain and tumultuous times, the peace of God covers those that trust in Him, and peace will flood the hearts and homes of all who turn to Him in the midst of chaos. God calls us to keep our eyes fixed on Him and remember that He alone is our strength, our rock, and our strong tower. We have a surety that we can trust in Him and with each new day comes His mercies to carry us through.
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”- John 16:33
“ The Lord is good, a refuge in times trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him...”- Nahum 1:7
“The Lord is my rock , my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”- Psalm 18:2
“Do not fear them, for the Lord your God is the one fighting for you.”- Deuteronomy 3:22
