Why Are Changes So Difficult? ...

Plan for Annular Solar Eclipse on Oct.14
Our human nature forces us to developed changes, being good or bad.
An excellent example to develop this topic is Job’s testimony. Let’s look at Job 23:10-14 “But He knows the way that I take; When He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside. I have not departed from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth More than my necessary food. But He is unique, and who can make Him change? And whatever His soul desires, that He does. For He performs what is appointed for me, And many such things are with Him.
He based his lifestyle on Jesus. Let’s analyze this Scripture.
1. He knows my way. This makes a great difference”
2. My foot steps have followed his feet prints. Jesus said in John 14:6 “ I am the way”. This is a personal decision. Be careful in obligating someone to change, if they do not want to change.
3. Guard the words that come out of your mouth. Reading the Bible is the only way it can be done. His words are recorded in it.
4. This is very decisive. He determines something, who can make him change it ? Glory to God.
If we don’t do it, we are rebellious to change.
I ask this question: What is your situation? What have you done up to now ? Let’s remember something: “ Why is change so difficult”. The challenge that this requires, is it that we do not want to pay the price? We use this expression as an excuse: “That’s the way I am”.
I hope you are not part of this conduct.
I bless you and may the Lord be your guide for the changes you make.
