Are You Ready For A Change

Change is on of the hardest things for us to do. Even in the worst situations, we are hesitant to change because change brings with it an unknown element. That fear of the unknown causes us to continue living with situations and circumstances that we know are not the best for us. Today, you can start to make some changes in your life. The best part is, you can make those changes without fear because God loves you, cares for you, and wants the best for His children.

In the Bible are many, many precious promises that God has given us to let us know we have nothing to fear when we put our faith and trust in Him. Right now, many of you are dealing with and battling situations in your life that you know cannot continue but you have been reluctant to make the needed changes. Let me encourage you today, trust God. Make those changes that you have to make knowing that God is with you. His Word tells us that He will never leave us or forsake us. He will give us wisdom if we ask Him. He will carry our burdens if we let Him. He will fight for us if we simply let Him.

My friend, have no fear. Make those changes in your life that you MUST make. You know what they are. Don?t let the fear of the unknown hold you back. Put your trust and faith in God, in the promises we find in His Word, and go forward with confidence knowing that He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more that we could ever ask or think. My Bible tells me that ALL things are possible with God. That includes those circumstances in your life that require change. Step out in faith today, let His Holy Spirit guide you, and make those changes that need to made. God cannot fail!

May the Lord?s richest blessings be with you this day as we trust God to help us make those changes in our life needed to know the fullness of His love and blessings.
