If there is anything in this world that you can be sure of, it is change. Something is always changing. Why is it, then, that we find ourselves thinking, Nothing will ever change... Im always going to be like this... My situation will never change... Hell never change... Shell never change... Im never going to be as good as so-and-so? The only thing that will never change is God. For I am the Lord, I do not change... (Malachi 3:6 ). Everything else can change. If you have no hope of seeing change in your situation, change probably isnt going to come. We endure so many things emotionally that we really wouldnt have to suffer if we put our hope in God and stop looking at all of the circumstances we cant control. We will never enjoy life unless we decide to! In order to live as God intends for us to live, we must truly believe that it is Gods will for us to experience continual joy. Then we must decide to enter into that joy, which is essential to our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Proverbs 17:22 says, A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. Hope makes joy available, just as a lack of hope produces misery. We can choose to enjoy righteousness and peace or stay in the midst of condemnation and turmoil. There are blessings or curses available, and that is why Deuteronomy 30:19 tells us to choose life and blessings. What do you do while you wait for change? You pray, believe and expect to receive. Maintain a positive attitude, knowing that God is working on bringing your change and that you will see it. Throughout your waiting time, the devil will scream, Its not going to change; its going to get worse! Dont listen to this and become discouraged. Instead, wake up in the morning and say out loud, This is the day that the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad! Something good is going to happen to me today! Everything in my life that is not right is subject to change! The One who never changes is changing my situation. And while Hes doing it, Im going to enjoy my life! Put your confidence in God and stop wearing yourself out trying to make things happen. The decision to have a good attitude while your change is coming can change you! Now is the time to decide to enter into the full and abundant life that God wants you to have.
