Transitions



From: Boyd Bailey Ministries

Proverbs 3:5 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, do not rely on your own understanding."

Timely transitions are necessary to teach trust in the Lord. Following Jesus is a transition from distrust to trust—fear to faith—insecurity to security—selfish to selfless and lost to found.

We move from the darkness of deception into the light of His love. Trust the Lord whether a transition feels forced or it is a conscious choice. In either case, Christ is in control. Grow and go with Jesus during timely transitions.

Furthermore, take hold of a timely transition and accept it as a purposeful plan from God. It may be a career move full of fear and possibilities. It may mean the last child has moved out, and you are left in a lonely house. Or, a child has moved back home under difficult circumstances and things are a bit cramped. In any event use timely transitions as a trend that is your friend. Trust God as He transitions you to His timing!
