Day 9: Embracing Change
Verse of the Day:
"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." - Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)
Reflection:
Change is a constant companion on our journey of faith. In the unfolding pages of a new year, let us embrace the truth that change is not just a part of life; it is a natural part of God's plan for our growth and transformation.
The verse from Isaiah reminds us that God is the author of new beginnings. As we step into the unknown territory of change, let us trust that God is making a way, even in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. His sovereignty extends to every season of change, and He leads us with purpose and provision.
Reflect on your attitude toward change. Are there areas in your life where you may be resistant to the idea of something new? In prayer, ask God to cultivate a spirit of openness and trust as you navigate the changes that may come your way in the new year.
Prayer:
Gracious God, as we face the prospect of change in the new year, help us to embrace it with faith and trust in Your guiding hand. You are the One who makes a way in the wilderness and provides rivers in the desert. May we find comfort in Your sovereignty and follow where You lead. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Action Step:
Identify an area in your life where change may be imminent. Surrender any anxiety or resistance to God, and ask Him to cultivate a spirit of openness and trust as you embrace the changes that lie ahead.
