“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28
I don’t mind change. Ummm…let me clarify that. Most times I don’t mind change. For instance, I love moving furniture around to change up my rooms. I love the change of seasons. But recently I had a change I did mind…A LOT.
Sometimes change can be scary. Sometimes change can bring difficult obstacles and challenges. Sometimes change causes physical pain. This change involved all of the above. I was facing an entirely different way of living.
So what happened? Well…my lower back decided to go totally out of alignment, pinch a nerve and then decided to add a fracture. So in effect it stopped working correctly which affected my mobility. It has required a huge change in my life that I was not expecting. That I was resisting. That I needed to face. I need to accept the new journey and path I’m now on. Not always an easy thing to accept since there was nothing in my control…except my way of dealing with the changes.
Now, that most of the brain fog has lifted and some of the pain has lessened, I’ve got to learn new ways on how to get through a day with new patterns of behavior.
So where does all this lead me? Well to the Bible of course! Often, when I go through major life’s changes, it can take me awhile to see where and how God’s hand has been working. What I have learned through past experiences is that He is with me always. I know He can be depended on to be a resting place, to provide comfort and guidance. That He has plans for the good for my life. My brain fog may prevent me from seeing His hand at work right now but my faith assures me He is near.
Prayer: Lord, I know you hear my cries and prayers. Thank you for being beside me through all of life’s changes. In Jesus name, Amen.
