Dealing with Change while Moving Forward

This year has been an rapidly changing situation for me. I've had to deal with the loss of stability that I've had since I was born. There are many things that I'm still struggling to cope with right now. There are other things that I'm still fighting to keep from disappearing all together. Some days I admittedly feel lost. Other days I find something to hold onto that reminds me that there still is some link to the past.

I know that I am not as I was when I was a teenager and a young adult. Even though I had some love for history back then, I looked forward to a future that promised good things. I tried not to think about the bad things that some scientists were predicting. Instead I focused more on the positive things and let my imagination run wild. I thought, wrongly, that the stability that I had would continue into the future. I thought that newer technology would open a better world for me. I was wrong.

This year from hell as some would call it when it's all said and done has taught me that nothing is stable. It also taught me that I have to stop relying on others and myself, and start relying on God for my stability. I am dealing with change while moving forward one step at a time. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. The key element is Christ. Without him we are all lost and floundering.

I know that I can fight against the evil forces when God gives me the resources. I am seeing God at work in the hearts of those who he is calling to himself. I thank God that he is stable and unchanging in a rapidly changing world. I don't know what the future holds for me, but know that I need to be ready to fight the good fight. I can take courage as I deal with change that he is with me. I know the outcome, so I don't have to fear what Satan and his minions may do. I feel honored to be placed in this position. I can stand with the thousands of God's followers as we fight the forces of time and space that threaten to end all life.

When I contemplate the title of this blog, I realize that in some way we are time warriors fighting against those who would change time for their evil purposes. I remember that God controls time and space, and in his hands we are his instruments to do his will.

Yes, things are pretty scary right now. Change is scary, yet God is the stabilizing force that controls the universe. Everything is in his hands. I praise God for his stability and loving kindness.
