Transition. A word that doesn’t become interesting until you actually go through one or a series of them. Transitions may or may not go smoothly, but anytime you go through one it’s because it becomes necessary for growth. When the transition is smooth, we will always talk about how God has blessed us and how much we are in His favor. But what if the transition does go smooth? Has God still blessed us? Are we still in His favor or in His will? Of course we are! Sometimes a transition doesn’t always go smoothly and it’s during these times that God uses the transition to teach us. God will use this time to teach us about prior mistakes and He will also use the time to teach us about the things that He expects from us in life and in ministry. So if you are going through a transition right now, don’t give up or get discouraged if things don’t go as smoothly as you thought they would. Don’t allow the enemy to get you in such a state that you allow yourself to get angry with God, or become doubting and fearful. Remember, the rain in our life is there to make us grow. Trials come to make us strong. So if we remember that God is still God and that He’s still able to do what He says He can and will do, then God will bless us because of our faith in Him. Hebrews reminds us that Faith is the substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen. The writer tells us that when we have faith we believe and hope that those things that we can’t see will come to pass. We know that God will do the impossible for us because He specializes in it!
I’m looking forward to continue growth in life and in ministry. Thank you Jesus for the transition!
