Navigating Change: A Christian’s Guide to Navigating the Changing of Year

Leave a comment

As we stand on the cusp of a new year, the air is filled with anticipation and the promise of fresh starts. Change is inevitable, and as Christians, we have the incredible privilege of navigating the twists and turns of life with the guidance of our faith. Join us on this journey as we kick off a series of posts that delve into the Christian perspective on navigating the changes of a new year.

In the tapestry of Ecclesiastes 3, we discover profound wisdom about the seasons of life—times to sow and times to reap, times to build and times to tear down. Embracing this biblical perspective, we recognize that change is not only a natural part of life but also an integral component of God’s divine plan.

The new year often brings with it a wave of resolutions and aspirations, but as Christians, our approach to change goes beyond mere self-improvement. It’s about aligning our hearts with God’s will and trusting in His unfailing guidance. The Bible assures us in Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

As we navigate the changes that the new year brings, let’s anchor ourselves in prayer, seeking God’s wisdom and discernment in every decision. Let’s embrace the challenges and uncertainties, knowing that God is the constant amidst the changes. His promises, found throughout the Scriptures, serve as beacons of hope and assurance as we step into the unknown.

Over the next few posts, we will explore practical insights and timeless truths from the Bible to guide you through the changes of the new year. From setting God-centered goals to finding peace in transitions, we’ll delve into topics that resonate with the essence of Christian living in a world that is ever-changing.

Join us on this journey of faith, as we embark on a series designed to inspire, encourage, and equip you for the beautiful adventure that lies ahead. May this new year be a season of spiritual growth, deepened faith, and a closer walk with the One who holds the future in His hands.

Thanks for reading, and we’ll see you tomorrow at 6 a.m.

Feeling overwhelmed by change?

Leave a comment

Blessed are the flexible, for they are not bent out of shape.

“Everything changes but change,” John F. Kennedy said. As we grow older, we realize how much life really changes. It is easy to be overwhelmed as things change.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by change, here are a couple points to remember.

1. Do not fight the unavoidable.

You and I may be able to delay change, but eventually, it must happen. There is no need to fight what is unavoidable. Blessed are the flexible, for they are not bent out of shape.

2. God does not change even though life changes.

While everything else in life will change, God will remain the same. Psalm 102:27 says of God, “But you are always the same. You will live forever.”

Isaiah 33:6 says, “In that day, he will be your sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the Lord will be your treasure.”

Jobs may come and end with a pink slip. Friends may come and go quickly. A health crisis may cause life to screech to a halt. But God remains the same.

  • “He never changes as a shifting shadow does,” according to James 1:17.
  • Numbers 23:19 states, “God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?”

Acting

When change overwhelms us, we do not have to endure it alone. We can ask the Lord to help us. When we are overwhelmed, we can pour out our thoughts to the Lord, and he will help us sort through them.
