8 – New Beginnings
16 – The Love of God
No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house. Luke 8:16 NLT
Change For God
Change is the only constant. If this old saying is true, and it is, why do you and I resist change so frequently and fervently? Heck, many of us just plain fear change.
That’s not a Kingdom way of thinking. I don’t want to stay the same, and neither should you. If you’ve been walking with Jesus for any amount of time, you should have an insatiable thirst for moving forward, increase, and upgrade in your life. I love this verse, and it sums up why we need to embrace change and move forward.
“Why sit we here until we die?” – 2 Kings 7:3
This guy has the right idea. Sitting around, resisting change because you fear the future brings nothing but death! Choose to live a powerful life. Choose serving others, bringing heaven to earth, and going after upgrade in your relationship with your King.
How about you? Has a fear of change kept you from moving forward? Comfort is the enemy of upgrade. So get up, follow Jesus, and let Him lead you into some cool places where you can make an eternal difference.
Remember, Father God sees us for all that we can be, not what we are! Be constantly changing for the better as God moves you forward into bigger and better things. Your Father has a plan for you, and it is good! He’s inviting you to transform into the image of that plan. He is awaiting your “Yes and Amen!”
Grounded in Faith
Declare!
I have a “Yes” in my Spirit, and I follow that with a “Yes” in my actions by changing what God speaks to me about. He has paid a high price for my life, and it is a joy to partner with Him in Kingdom work. The wonder of living life with Jesus fills me with energy to give Him my all and upgrade my relationship with Him.
