Dancing With Changeनमूना

Day 3: Finding Stability in the Midst of Change:

Finding strength during change is a common struggle for many individuals. Yet we need to change if we hope to dance regardless of what life throws at us.

Successfully navigating change always starts with trusting in God’s plan. In times of change, it is crucial to trust in God’s plan and purpose for our lives. Proverbs 3:5–6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” When we acknowledge God’s sovereignty and surrender to His guidance, we can find strength and assurance in His faithfulness.

In addition to trusting in God, we must embrace His promises. The Bible is filled with promises of strength and comfort during challenging times. Isaiah 41:10 assures us that God will strengthen and help us. this verse reads like poetry: “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” I love those words! They are a rock-solid guarantee of His presence, His encouragement, and His provision. Psalm 46:1 (NIV) is another verse brimming with reassurance: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Verses 5 and 7 add: “God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. . . . The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” By holding on to these kinds of promises, we can find solace and strength in the face of change.

Not only does God’s Word help us, but we can also find help from others as we seek support and community. Change can be overwhelming, particularly in the dazzling pace of technological developments the deeper we march into the twenty-first century. But we do not have to face it alone. We must seek support from trusted friends, family members, and spiritual communities. Galatians 6:2 encourages us to carry one another’s burdens. Not only does this fulfill the law of Christ (according to Paul), it provides a source of strength and encouragement during times of change.
