Changes
We all have changes in our lives. From day to day we need God to help us get through whatever may come our way. Some days we may be shouting, "Praise God!" while other times we may be crying out, "I need a miracle!" Whatever the day may bring, changes will come and we need to have a godly mindset in order to handle them.
I was studying the word one morning, and I kept thinking about all the changes that were going on in my life. Between the daily challenges that my wife and I have in our home with raising three children, the constant transitions with our jobs and business, and the world around us in general -- they all speak of changes.
As I thought about it, I felt God drop this "pearl" into my heart. It is the acronym for the word changes:
Christ
Has
A
New
Gift
Each
Second
Wow! We can look at each new day and even each second as an opportunity for God to bless us! Each moment contains a gift from God if we want to look for it. It can be in a smile from someone at work, an encouraging word from a friend at WA, God's Word speaking to our hearts, or a pat on the back from our bosses. The list is endless. Let's not overlook the obvious ones like a promotion, good report cards from our children, a child who calls us his or her hero, an unexpected financial blessing, a whole week without something breaking in the house, and good health.
In Malachi 3:6, God says, "For I am the Lord, I change not." Isn't that comforting? With all the changes, there is one thing that cannot change -- GOD. This includes His great love for us.
He also says in His Word,
"So God has given us both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie.
What has God promised you? He has promised to never leave you nor forsake you, no matter what.
"For the Lord will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance" (Psalm 94:14, KJV).
"...for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee" (Hebrews 13:5, KJV).

Enjoyed your post and you are right God never leaves us it is us that move away from him, or do not keep our promises to him, he also says if we keep our promise he is bound by his to open the windows of heaven and pour out his blessings upon us.
Love the word and meaning of Changes I remember seeing this from Everlasting Gospel who are a Pentecostal group in the Philippines. I have them on my FB that's why it rang a bell when I saw the word and meaning of Changes.
It was posted back in 2013.
Great when spirit allows the memory to kick at certain times in our life and we find what was one lost and now found.In this case such a valuable meaning to our lives each and every day. This is very important to remember and accept.

You're never alone tribe82. It's a feeling and a lie from the devil, I know that feeling but remember these words " When you're up to nothing, God is up to something in your life". Stay blessed brother.
we are all human and as such we will have these feelings it is not always an easy road to travel.. hope you have a good weekend
I know KatieMac, that's why we need the word to give us a boost and a reminder that we're not alone. God bless

Very powerful Ekings!! very true, sometimes we tend to forget that no matter what kind of crazy lives we live, God will never leave or forsake us. Thanks for the word.
