With God as our point of reference

Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:6 NLT)

 One of the biggest challenges of the modern world is the rate of changes that affect our lives. Change is often needed and good, but not all things change for the best. And the distinction between what is a step forward or backward isn’t always obvious in real time.
 One of the secrets is having a foundation. When you have something certain to hold onto, it helps in letting the things that don’t really matter slip by. With God as our point of reference, it’s easier to keep track of the things you should never allow to change, like honesty, kindness, and integrity, and those that can shift, such as where you live, where you work.
 He has promised to guide us as we put our trust in Him and commit our ways to Him. If you seek Him and listen to His still, small voice, you’ll be able to rest in the choices you make. As long as you remain true to God’s Word, and stay in touch with Him, He will help you to see and discern what changes will be a step higher and cause progress.
 So don’t be scared to embrace the switch-ups and switch-outs that come your way when they are in line with the Bible and His Spirit. Flourish, progress, grow. Move forward. —Amy Joy Mizrany [1]

 Prayer: Heavenly Father, Your creation is changing continually—seasons and cycles in perpetual motion. Help me to flow like that, to not be afraid to let go of my comfortable habits and routines in order to discover new things. Help me to not stagnate, but to progress and continue to grow. Most of all, help me to change in the ways You want me to change, so I can become all You know I can be.
