Change
“Change is inevitable, growth is intentional."
Change is a law of life and those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. Change is never easy to accept. We have to approach it with a positive mental attitude. If you lived 100 years ago you probably would have been a farmer, miner, or possibly some sort of factory worker. 100 years ago these vocations made up 90% of the work force. Very few people worked behind a desk.
If someone said back then that “100 years from now farmers will only make up 1.5% of the workforce, miners about the same and factory workers 10%,” you may have replied, "well what could the other people possibly be doing?"
Change, our world has changed so much in the last 100 years. It is amazing that technology has allowed us to increase productivity to this extent. What will technology bring us in the next 100 years? Our world is constantly changing, it's inevitable. Change is a law of life - everything is in a constant state of change, even if to our natural eye it is too slow to detect or perceive.
God and His Word are the only constants in the universe. The Lord says, "I change not!" God is already perfect – perfect love, perfect wisdom, and perfect goodness. You and I, and the rest of creation, are in a state of change. It often takes more courage to change one's opinion than to stick to it. When you blame others you give up your power to change. Change is inevitable but growth is intentional.
I DARE YOU to make a decision today to grow and learn in our forever-changing environment and world. Let's grow in God, let's grow in the Word and let's become all that God has destined us to become.
