A New View Of Change

I am the good shepherd and I know My sheep.-(John 1-:14)

People hate change, or so I hear. But the change we generally resist is the kind that we think will make our situation worse rather than better. We eagerly change jobs when it means higher pay and more influence. We happily move to a bigger house in a better neighborhood. So it’s not change in general that we hate: it’s change that involves loss-sometimes physical; other times emotional or psychological.

Change is both inevitable and necessary. If everything stays the same, no one is growing. But we have a Shepherd who guides us through change and leads us to a better place. Getting there may be difficult, as it was for the Israelites in reaching the Promise Land. They grumbles when their situation got worse rather than better (Ex. 15:24; Num. 14:2). But we have the example of Jesus. In less that a week, He went from being the leader of many to being abandoned by all. Between Palm Sunday and Good Friday, the Good Shepherd became the Passover Lamb. Because Christ willingly went through suffering, God elevated Him to the highest place. (John 10:11; Phil. 2:8-9)

Not all change is pleasant,but when we’re being led to a better place by Someone who loves us, we don’t need to fear it.

"I know not,but God knows."

Faith in Christ will keep us steady in the stormy sea of change.
