Change
17 Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. 19 Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing.Keeping God’s commands is what counts. 20 Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them. 1 Corinthians 7:17-20
If you are like me, things are typically heading in the direction you want, and then there is a change that takes place that can totally throw you off kilter. The change can be something simple to overcome, or it can be something grand that moves you on a path that takes you a long time to overcome. The funny thing is how many times do we think that this change is something that God has assigned to us? I bet that is not very often, and I bet we think these things are sometimes from the enemy. God places us in these situations to test us in a number of ways, but the biggest test seems to be our Faith. Yep, the Faith that we already know about, and the Faith that we know God is going to get us through this change. However, most of us forget about the Faith in our Lord and Savior and this can impact how long we are in this situation. If we take the perspective each time we experience change as something that God has given us, then we can more easily lean into His faithfulness to move us through the change. Keep this in mind the next time the big change hits you, and remain where you are and remain in Him.
Have a great weekend.
