Whatever's Next

Embrace it. Accept it. Don’t resist it. Change is not only a part of life; change is a necessary part of God’s strategy. To use us to change the world, he alters our assignments.

But, someone might ask, what about the tragic changes God permits? Some seasons make no sense…do such moments serve a purpose?

Well...yes! They do if we see them from an eternal perspective. What makes no sense in this life will make perfect sense in the next. I know that can be hard to understand sometimes but it's true. We go through trials, we deal with challenges ... why? Because they are preparing us, teaching us, growing us.

So we should then ask the question...

Might these challenges, severe or as minimal as they may be, serve to prepare us, equip us for the world to come?

YES!

As Paul wrote, “These little troubles are getting us ready for an eternal glory that will make all our troubles seem like nothing” (2 Cor. 4:17 CEV).
