Change (Oct 31)

I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed.  But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
                                    John 12:24 NIV

Change is discussed here.  The change in a single wheat kernel; through germination, growth, flowering and yielding fruit of many seeds.  In a very real sense, that kernel, when it grows does die and change.

Generally change is something that contains struggles, challenges, and often requires much work.  As a result, we do not like change and sometimes wish that things like high school, a steady relationship, a job, a marriage, our life here on earth would not end.    We, like Peter during the transfiguration of our Lord, wish that some things, those mountain top experiences, would last forever.  We do like what we know.

God gives us changes, transitions, trials and challenges in love for us to grow in character, in our relationship with Him, and in maturity; to understand greater truth with deeper insight.

Look for God's comfort as you go through the changes and transitions in your life, for life truly is a series of transitions.

How can you comfort another who is going through a transition in life?

Pray that God reveals the abundance of His peace as  transitions in life occur.

In Christ,

David P
