Sometimes change can be frightening. Most are most comfortable with what has always been yet we desire things to improve and get better. When the familiar is replaced with the unfamiliar it sometimes causes fear. Even after change has occurred, we can still be surprised and startling.
Change is inevitable though much of the change we experience is good. I am glad for cars, planes, central air, computers, the internet, and a growing church. We experience it all of the time.
We get to choose if we are going to be afraid of change, or anticipate and plan for it. We can even embrace it and triumph through change. By anticipating change we can plan in advance and avoid being startled or surprised.
Someone sent me these two words of encouragement recently. They blessed me and I hope they will you.”

“Don’t measure the size of the mountain; talk to the One who can move it.”
“Instead of carrying the world on your shoulders talk to the One who holds the universe on His.”
