For any new beginnings, the old must go. Its like when you plant something in the garden – for growth and harvest the old should die to be able to create the new.
God will stir us out of the comfort zone or situations for the benefit of getting us to where He wants us to be.
It might be the situation that forces us to use our faith or our conscious mind. Just as God can supernaturally open doors, sometimes He may supernaturally close doors.
Nothing happens by accident, I can attest to that on my personal journey as a husband, father, mentor, life coach and teacher of the Word.
If a friend does you wrong or you are going through a setback, or maybe you have lost a loved one, you can either embrace that change and eventually God will use it to take you higher or you can resist it, and you will become stagnant and settle for mediocrity.
My suggestion would be stay open to change. Don’t approach change from a negative point of view. Remember God will never allow anything unless He has a good purpose for it.
He will use it to stretch you and to hopefully push you into a new dimension. It is easy to become negative or bitter. By understanding God, you will know that He is still in control.
When I say in control I mean you must sit behind and let God be in the drivers seat because He knows the way. If you embrace that change, the winds that you thought would defeat you, will actually push you to your divine destiny.
You don’t want to rock the boat. That’s why sometimes God will turn the boat over; remember the story in the book of life that speaks about the storms.
Remember the story of Jonah running away from God? Yes God may force you to move forward, not because He wants to make your life miserable, but because He has desire to see you reach your full potential.
Sometimes He may cause your friends to walk away, close the door that has been opened for years, or make you an orphan or make you lose a business deal.
Be strong and focused, your things will be better and good. Just believe, pray and raise your standards.
Don’t fight change, embrace it – you will step up into the fullest of what has your name on.
Don’t fight – you are not a fighter – let the almighty fight as He is the one who knows the difference between wars and trials.
