WELCOME TO GOD FOCUS THIS MORNING

THE TITLE FOR TODAY’S EPISODE:  TRANSITIONS

We all experience many transitions in life. We go from infant to toddler then to school age child, to high-school graduate. Some transition to college, while others become soldiers or join the work force.

Life is about changing and growing. We should never stop growing and learning. Especially about God’s Word.

Places of transition are normally accompanied by anxiety and fear of the unknown. We wonder how things will be once we are in the new place. What we learn during the process can be invaluable. Look at the children of Israel. Because they didn’t trust God, they were stuck in transition. This is why we must trust his plan.

Only those born during the transition got to see the promised land. In other words, we cannot take our old ways of thinking into the new season. We need to shake off religion and find the old path.

We need to get on the path of God’s ways and not man’s traditions. They were following their old way of thinking and built a golden calf. We don’t need any idols of religion. We need to be sure we are in God’s will. Only his way will lead us to the transition of what God has promised.

Caterpillars go through an amazing transformation. In the transition they are closed up in a cocoon. Only God see the transformation. But one day, God says ok, now is your time to fly. That butterfly with its newly formed wings pushes out of its shell and takes to the sky.

Only God knows when we are ready for the next level in Him. But we can be assured, he will never allow us to be unprepared for what he has for us next.

Just as the butterfly has to push its way out of the cacoon, we have to press our way out of the comfort zone. We must trust God and learn to be content in whatever phase of the transition we find ourselves in at the moment.

Phil 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.

If you find yourself in a transition, trust in the Lord. He will see you through it. Embrace the process and try to be content in whatever phase you find yourself. Remember the children of Israel didn’t trust and they spent 40 years going around the same mountain.

We can prolong the process of transition by not surrendering, but we cannot shorten the time. Growth takes time and we need to never stop growing.

Thanks for watching,

Until next time,

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
