Though most of us are inherently opposed to it, change is an important
part of God’s good plan for his children. You and I may prefer the cozy
security of familiarity, but both the advancement of the church and
personal sanctification usually involves large quantities of change.
Throughout the Bible we see God changing the setting and a variety of
factors in the lives of his people as he moves them into new levels of
maturity and effectiveness for his name’s sake. We have certainly been
warned that the one constant in the Christian life is the changing
nature of the Christian life (2Cor.3:18; Phil.3:12-14). So the next time
you find that God’s plan is bringing some uncomfortable periods of
adjustment for you, your family or your church, just remember that this
is God’s tried and true method of preparing you and positioning you to
be all that he wants you to be.
