Transition is difficult. It requires that we leave something behind and move into something new. What is known to us is comfortable, even though it may not be good for us and certainly is no longer what is best for us. Everything that grows goes through transition. A seed is put in the ground and it dies in order that a new life form can begin to grow. A flower or fruit develops and is picked and unless the fruit is used for food, both will wither and die. On a farm, dead plants are often plowed back into the ground to provide nutrients for the next crop to come. Transition takes place from one season to the next.
The Lord will lead you. He himself is with you. He will not fail you or leave you. Don’t worry. Don’t be afraid! (Deuteronomy 31:8 ERV)
The Lord says, “I will teach you and guide you in the way you should live. I will watch over you and be your guide. (Psalm 32:8 ERV)
Prayer: Loving God, as I face this day, give me the strength and courage to make whatever transition is necessary in my heart, in my thinking, and even in my circumstances so that my character defects will go and Your will becomes the desire of my heart in all my affairs. Amen
