When is the last time that you have faced a change of circumstances in your life?
It could be enrolling to a new school, changing a job, getting married, facing an illness or letting go of present commitments to take care of ageing parents. These are possible common situations that we are likely to face as we go through life which may be intentional or unexpected.
We could experience anxiety, excitement or loss of direction as we face the above. For the unexpected that seems overwhelming, we cried out to God for help which sometimes may or may not come. So, does God allow all these to happen which we cannot handle? How do we react to such situations when it comes?
I believe that all these situations that God has put in place are plans for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11-13). Through these, we are able to call on and seek the Lord so that we can grow spiritually stronger. As we face different seasons in our life, may we be ready to embrace them and continue to trust God that He will enable us to go through them and be closer to Him.
“For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (ESV)
