Embracing Life's Changes With Focus and Faith

As you embrace life changes, both the good and the bad, remember God's words in Isaiah 55:8-11: "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so shall my Word be that goes forth out of my mouth, it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." Focus on the promises of God for your life. Know that you are a son or daughter of the Most High God and nothing in your life happens unless God allows it. When we don't understand why, we must have faith in our heavenly Father who made us, knows us intimately and desires that we have good success and not failure.

God will use the changes of life, with its problems and pressures, to strengthen your character, make you wiser, and give you beauty for ashes.
