As I read on the news about Aretha Franklin nearing the end of her life...I couldn't help but to think about the word
Transition.
We go through many transitions during our time here on Earth.
The obvious is how we transition from the womb to breathing our first breath of air.
The change we go through as we grow from infant to adult.
The change we may go through from single to adult life.
Each change is different for each person.
Then at the end of our life, we transition from life on earth to whatever is next for us after our last breath is taken.
One of my favorite scriptures that brings me great comfort is
Ecclesiastes 3:1.
There is a time for everything. And a season for everything under the heavens.
As mere humans we go though many seasons in life. But someone, sometime, somewhere has gone though the same thing.
Ecclesiastes 1:9
What has been, will be again, what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun.
But one thing that does NOT change is our God!
He is the same God today as the God of creation.
He is the same God that led the Exodus out of slavery. and he is the same God that cares about each one of of today.
Hebrews 13:8 says
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows
Its such a relief to know that when we wake up each day...no matter what we wake up to...
That God is there the same as he was ...and always will be. I never have to worry about Him changing.
So as life transitions around us daily...let us keep in mind that no matter what the change today or tomorrow brings...lets keep our hearts focused on God and His everlasting love for us and know that whatever our day should bring, He has us in the palm of His hand.
Have a good day everyone!
