Everything changes..devotion by fabian   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3854 of 3951 |
thus says the Lord GOD: "Remove the turban, and take off the crown; Nothing
shall remain the same. Exalt the humble, and humble the exalted.{ Ezekiel 21;26
}The old order changes--now the lowly are exalted, and the mighty are brought
low.
 
Nothing remains the same , the wicked will not always rule , those who abuse
their authority will be removed .Nations fall , cities crumble , people die and
those who once were are no more .The circumstances and situations are always
changing and nothing remains the same .
Change ; to make or become different ,to alter the course .To give a different
position or direction .To put one thing in place of another ,to switch ,exchange
To put fresh clothes or covering on .
 
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed
away; behold, all things have become new..{ 2 Corinthians 5;17 }What this means
is that those who become Christians become new persons. They are not the same
anymore, for the old life is gone. A new life has begun!
The life we have in Christ is a life full of changes , as we are being changed
into his image day by day .The old life is gone and the life of selfishness has
been replaced by a life of selflessness and purpose .We have been changed ! We
are no longer seeking to rule but to serve .Our priorities have changed .
 
Do not seek to hold on to everything you are or may be .Let God change you ,let
him move you ,let him replace you , let him send you , let him rule you .Why do
you seek to hold onto things that are not yours in the first place ? Why do you
fight against change ? Do not seek to be in control or to keep what you may
think is yours ,like your position , your place ,your environment , your
ministry ,your job ,your direction ,your plans ,etc , etc .
 
Remember it all belongs to God and he determines our steps and our way .Guess
what ? If you determine to keep it ,hold onto it or do it .You must maintain it
,work it ,and strive to keep it ,provide for it ,care for it and the burden is
on you .But if it is the Lord who is doing it ,then he maintains it , works it
,keeps it and provides for it and the burden is the Lord’s .He is the one who
takes care of it .
for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing;
but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it--lest you even be found to fight
against God."
{Acts 5;38-39 }
So do not resist change ,do not resist the process , do not try to control which
you cannot help happen .Let change take it’s course and submit to the infinite
wisdom of the Almighty God who makes everything beautiful in it’s time .{
Ecclesiastes 3;11}
To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven. A time
to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is
planted…A time to search and a time to lose. A time to keep and a time to
throw away
{ Ecclesiastes 3;1-2,6 }
 
I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it,
And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him. That
which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; And God requires
an account of what is past.{ Ecclesiastes 3;14-15 }...Devotion by Fabian
