Coping With Change

How do you cope with change?   

Change comes in all shapes and sizes.  From switching jobs to moving house, from dealing with new health challenges to new financial circumstances. New relationships require adjustment, as do the loss of loved ones.  Change is a part of life, whether we like it or not.

The good news is God can help us cope with change.  The Bible’s full of stories about people who leaned on God in the most turbulent of times.   Ordinary people facing dramatic change they didn’t ask for.   They could lean on God because of his immutability.  

Immutability is a fancy word that describes God’s permanency.  Malachi 3:6 quotes the Lord saying,   “I, the Lord, do not change.”   God can help us cope with change because his immutability gives us stability. 

Are you facing change right now?  Trust God to get you through it.  He will anchor your life like nothing else.
