Hi, my friends, welcome to day 11 embracing change
Well, I don't know about you, but stepping outside your comfort zone taking action going after your dream requires
embracing change for sure
Hebrews 13 8 says Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever
And what I love about this is even though our life changes more often than not God never
Changes Jesus never changes like he is always with us always
Faithful always there to provide always there to guide us
We talked yesterday about the power of prayer like he is for us and with us and we can trust in his confidence
so even though our world often changes and life can just seem like
Sometimes we get blindsided by change or as we're stepping out again of our comfort zone and taking action
It can feel daunting to go, you know after things that are stretching us
But even in this we can find comfort in the unchanging nature of Christ
embracing change also is what leads us to our greatest growth and new opportunities, you know, you think of a
caterpillar that without going through the cocoon and the metamorphosis process and kind of the dismantling of its current body and
Becoming something new that it turns into this beautiful butterfly and so too but when we go through change
It's an emerging process like sometimes it's a little painful and are
Uncomfortable and yet as we come out the other side like we can be a new creation in Christ
Jesus stepping into our dreams
So today reflect on the changes that you might need to make is that getting up earlier?
Is it being more bold, you know to talking to people?
Is it taking the time out to write or to create your dream?
Is it being intentional with your health? Like what do you need to do to create the change and sometimes again?
we resist change and so we have to be like to push through maybe the resistance that we're feeling and
Over time we start to get more used to it
So it could be again your mindset a routine environment
relationships finances like ask God what areas that you need to change in your life and then be
Faithful to move forward like don't just journal the changes but actually take action and then trust God that he's with
you in the transition that he's guiding you and
Leading you towards the perfect plans that he has for your life
So let's ask today our activation questions first, how do you feel about change?
Well, there's part of me who grew up in the military household and I moved a ton growing up
And so on one hand, I'm a big proponent of change. Like I'm like, yeah, let's do this. Let's move
Let's start something new. But on the other hand like I can get overwhelmed sometimes and resist
Taking making action or taking change and like really like like taking control of some areas of my life because I get really
Comfortable in the familiar and so I think we all kind of have that tension. So ask God to identify
One change to him that you need to embrace in your life to move closer towards your dream
Like really take time with God and the Holy Spirit and don't feel overwhelmed
Like again, you can't change everything at once but like what's 1% of
Change that you could do today and every day or every week add something new
So, let me pray for you my friends. So God
Just thank you
Thank you for the fact that you are faithful that you never change
That you are always here for us that you are always there to provide wisdom and guidance and God
I just pray for my friend this day that you would help them to embrace change embrace the discomfort or the
Unfamiliar or the fear that might be associated with taking charge and change in their life
But God all may they experience great growth
mentally emotionally spiritually physically
Production wise, you know with their what they're producing for their dream God and may you move them closer to the desires of their heart?
And may they be in line with your will in Jesus name. Amen. Okay, my friends. See you again tomorrow
Hope you have a great day
