Resistant to change

Resistant to change

Ecclesiastes 3:4 “A time to weep, and a time to laugh; and a time to dance;”

Our lives are full of varying seasons. I’m so guilty of getting comfortable in a certain season and then feeling resistant when it starts to change. Doesn’t that sound familiar? Even though the only consistency in this crazy journey of life is change ~ what a wild thought. 

We struggle when relationships alter, jobs take a different course, financial or health is compromised. We are human and we enjoy stability (I’ll speak for myself on this one, ha). 

Harmony and battle, fear and peace, contentment and longing, joy and sorrow, life and death. God appoints every moment. Nothing stays the same except HIM. Oh, what a comfort! 

Jesus leads us through them all through his divine sovereignty. Though we might question, fear, or doubt His plan, He is FAITHFUL. He can handle our honest reactions, in fact He WANTS us to bring them to Him first. We may not be able to get all our answers now, but one day we will. His purpose for us is good because HE is good. 

There’s a beautiful album written by Bethany Barnard called “All My Questions” with the theme that we can approach God with all our wonderings, all our thoughts, all our frustrations. We don’t have to hide anything in His presence! Her words give me such freedom and I hope they will do the same for you! Highly recommend giving it a listen. 

I so love that this scripture points out God’s sense of humor with the mention of laughter and His intentionality to celebrate with the mention of dancing. I can’t help but smile! Let’s remind each other to soak in these sweet moments to the fullest extent.

Mephibosheth, whose name means “shame”, was the son of Jonathon and the grandson of King Saul. He was a crippled man living in a dry wasteland called Lo-Debar which means “no pastures.” He was living there because when he was just 5 years old, news spread that his dad and granddad, Jonathan and Saul, were both killed. The remainder of Saul’s family could only assume that with the new King David coming into power, they would all be killed off next, so they fled in fear to become exiles and ene...

Compassion Triumphs Pity
Compassion Triumphs Pity

September 13, 2023

We can find biblical hope for this struggle when we consider the story of the Israelites’ exile in the Old Testament. The afflictions of the Israelites’ exile were two-fold. On one hand, they were exiled because of their own sin, and on the other hand, their burdens were increased because of the sin of the nations oppressing them. I am certain that if I were an exiled Israelite, I would have been grumbling and throwing pity parties the majority of the time. How does God respond to them? Throu...
