Transitions

So often we desire stability and rhythm in our lives but refuse to except that we live in a world of constant transition. We transition jobs, people, stages of life (with or without kids), even our homes are transitional (whether moving, remodeling, or even destruction). Very few of us get constant stability.  Even Jesus was in transition throughout his ministry (Luke 9:57-58). Here’s the good news despite the blurry pace we seem to be swept up in; God is the rock we stand on in the midst of such transition. Hebrews 13:8, says “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” No matter the transitions in life whether its death and sickness, new life, or that dream job; the foundation of our faith, drive, and purpose is always in him. Psalm 18:2 reminds us, “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.” We handle each transition by fixing our eyes on him and not the fallout from the latest change. Even in ministry we continue to bend our knee and focus our eyes on being obedient to the one who gave us everything so that we might glorify and honor him no matter what ebbs and flows through the house.
