“And he that sat upon the throne said, behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, write for these words are true and faithful.” (Revelation 21:5).
Today it feels like everything or most things are just harder than they used to be. Many people have moved or in the process of moving in with relatives just to survive. If you are in a similar position do not feel discouraged because you are not alone on this journey. We are living in a time when most of us must press our reset buttons, and start looking at life differently.
The key to overcoming this drastic change in our world is faith in God. I know you have heard this a million times, but it is the truth and truth will always repeat itself because anything other than the truth is a lie. So, what do you do if you find yourself in reset mode? The first thing you do is slow down and pray. Prayer gets you refocused, and it stops the bleeding of stress and worry. Then, you write down your options starting with the best option first, on a piece of paper or in a book, that way, you will see exactly what you can do verses what you would like to do. Sometimes what you would like to do is just not possible now, so just choose your best option. The Bible says that all things are working together for our good (Romans 8:28). You may just be surprised how this change work out for you later. But you need to take that first step today. Walk through the door that is open for you and trust God in the process.
Resetting can mean different things for different people. It can be a new job, moving to a new place or a new state, or country. Or resetting can be a spiritual mind set. Whatever it may be, do not face it by yourself. You will need people and most importantly you will need God’s eye and his hands to guide you along. When Joseph was sold into slavery, he did not have time to figure things out. His only choice was to walk through the door that took away his freedom and separated him from his family (Gen. 37). But God was with Joseph, and though we all wished we did not have to change or rearrange our lives, the same God who was with Joseph is with us too. He will take us through the uncontrollable changes, and he will work it out for our good. Today, I encourage you to embrace the change, pray and walk through the door that is open for you. It will work out for your good, just wait and see.
Let us pray: Lord please forgive me of my sins today. Thank you for your word. Lord I am feeling nervous about this decision, but it is my only option. I present it to you and trust you to take me through it in Jesus name. Amen. Until next time. God bless you.

Thanks for the encouraging word, Sheila. It is true that everything seems harder these days, but as you said, the Lord will guide us if we let him and if we listen to the peace that he gives us when our steps are aligned with his will. I pray that he continues to guide you and all of us who rely on him, so he can give us his rest!
