Trust God for the Transition

Trust God for the Transition pt.2

When it is time for a change, trusting in the Lord is absolutely paramount to the success of the transition. The story of Abraham (at that time named Abram) is always remarkable to me. God told him to go. No direction... not "go to the east as far as the sun rises". No, “travel south for three days with a herd of migratory camels…”, or, “walk west until you’re too tired to travel on.” Not even a, “go down the mountainside and take a left at the Wal*Mart and wait next to the Olive Garden until you hear from me”... nothing like that. God only said, “Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you.” Gen 12:1  and Abraham went.
We even struggle with simple changes to our regular routine. It can be difficult for us to alter our route to work if we feel God instructing us to go a different way. Or, if on our way to the collection basket at church we feel the Lord saying to give a different amount other than what we’ve already planned. We question if it’s really God.

We struggle with these small things. So naturally, a bigger change will create more anxiety. Whether large or small, they require the same key ingredient for success; Trust in God.

We must learn to 1) trust God through the transition, 2) trust that He has prepared the destination for our arrival, and 3) trust that He is preparing us (hearts and minds) while on the journey, to be ready for the destination. Our hearts must be ready for the transition, AND the destination! We can only achieve that by trusting in God.

We love you, and we are praying with you.
