Is it Time for a Change? Are you frustrated with the current direction of your life? Do you feel God pushing you to a higher level? Do sense that now is the time to conquer the land He has promised to you? Or are you simply endeavoring to accomplish goals that you have set for yourself, but it has been a huge struggle? 

If you answered yes to any of these questions it Its definitely time for a change. But how to make the change is an unknown quantity to many of us.

Please consider the following verses:

The scripture says…

Colossians 3:17

“17. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”

I Corinthians 14:40

“40. Let all things be done decently and in order.”

Proverbs 3:5-6

“5. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Recognizing its time for a change is only the beginning. Now you must fight against all of your natural inclinations and do things differently from your normal routine.

True change can only happen in and with God. We can seem to change on our own. This kind of change is only temporary. Eventually you will fall back into those same habits and behaviors which lead to your feelings of frustration and inadequacy. 

However, when a person turns towards God, and make a conscious decision to truly trust him. Then allows God to direct his or her actions/behaviors – at this point a change can truly take place.

You have tried things your way and could only reach a certain level of success. Now try God.

This means we need to stop moving on our own, stand still, and watch God move instead. This requires our participation. We must actively seek him and listen – not moving until he inspires us into action. We must do things decently and in order – no confusion or chaos at all. We must do everything in the name of Jesus, and be thankful unto him. If we can follow his word, a change must take place.

Personally speaking, I am in the middle of a change. And believe me, it is indeed a very challenging (but also very rewarding) process. I have found that slowing down and seeking God before making decisions has blessed me so much. I see my attitudes about things changing, but also I see my circumstances improving. I give thanks to God.

The word of God is truth and it works if we allow it by standing on and confessing the word daily. Try God’s word for your self. Endeavor to apply the word to your life daily. I guarantee you will also see your circumstances change.
