Listen "Embracing Change"
Episode Synopsis
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! . . .”
— Isaiah 43:18-19
Change has a way of making us feel uneasy. It often comes with the uncertainty of the unknown and the discomfort of moving away from what we’ve always known. I remember a time when I faced a significant change— leaving a job I had held for years. It was a step into uncharted territory—and, if I’m honest, fear gripped my heart. The comfort of familiarity had a strong pull on me. But I’ve learned something valuable over the years: God doesn’t just call us to new things; he prepares us for them. In Isaiah 43:18-19, God calls us to let go of the past and recognize that he is always doing something new. God promises to make a way for us in the wilderness and to provide streams in the wasteland. Though the path may seem unclear, God is already at work before we even realize it, and he has our best interests in mind. Embracing change isn’t always easy, but it is always good when we trust that God is leading us. We don’t have to have all the answers, because God holds the future. When we lean into his promises, we can take that next step in faith, knowing that God is with us in every change.
God, help me to trust you in all the things you are doing in my life. Give me the strength to let go of what is familiar and to embrace the new things you have for me to do. In Jesus, Amen.
