Life is a process of continually becoming, a combination of stages we must go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. That is death. - A. Nin
Joseph, Abraham, David, Paul – men who endured many ups and downs in life's situations, but were changed by them, and helped change the world for God. Hmm!
When we were young we couldn’t wait to grow up. Oh the ideas we had back then on how we would live our life out. And now here we are trying like the dickens to just keep the ‘status quo.’ We say things like “I’m too old to change,” or “I like my life just as it is.” But change is the only constant, and change we must; for we serve a God who is ever working out His purposes in our lives. And just as nature has its 4 seasons, there are seasons for us as well. We will never be twenty-something again, but thirty, forty, fifty-plus can’t be bad because God has prepared us for it. We cannot truly grasp the present and presence of God unless we let go of the past.
Until tomorrow….
Pastor Botts
