Change

I have a confession... I do not like change! I don't know many people that do but for me change is something that has been the one big thing that is so consistent in my life that when stability comes I really enjoy embracing it and reveling in it. That is where I fail though. Reveling in something like consistency is where I tend to lose focus on the important things in life, like my relationship with my wonderful Savior. It is in these times where I just start, as Matthew West would say, "going through the motions" (Motions by Matthew West). I get so consumed in my routine and caught up in the fact that things will stay the way they are that I forget to ask God to help me be more mindful of what is going on around me and trusting him to help me through the big and small moments in my life. None of this is to say that when you have a routine in your life that you can't be content and happy in it. The Bible says to be content with what you have (Hebrews 13:5) but in this don't just go through the motions of life. I have learned so much over my lifetime but most importantly that when change comes I can trust in the one thing...or should I say person, that is always going to be consistent in my life; Jesus Christ. He has promised to never leave me or forsake me (Hebrews 13:5, Deuteronomy 31:6, Joshua 1:5)

Verse of the Day: Hebrews 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
