How Do You Handle Changes?

How do you handle changes?  Are you the type that starts to experience anxiety when you lose control?  Are you able to fully trust God when things start happening around you?  Many times the enemy likes to throw us off guard with changing our circumstances and situations.  Many times it is never in our favor and I believe that God uses these times to see if we actually apply his word.  It is very easy to read the Word when things are going good and when nothing is happening.  It is fun to highlight verses and circle them in our bibles, but do we actually apply the verses in times of trouble?  What good does it do if we highlight and circle things, if we don't actually apply them to our lives?  The Bible is Gods living word that comes to life right off of the pages.  There is no other book in the world that can do this, so this is a  powerful concept to grasp.  The amazing thing about reading the Bible is that you can read the same verse several times and God will reveal something different to you, each time you read it.  So I am going to ask the question again: How do you handle changes?  Do you feel your blood pressure start to rise?  Do you speak Gods Word out loud over what you feel?  I am going to say it again:  Do you speak Gods Word out loud over what you feel?  Many times we let our feelings dictate us, and we ride those emotions from feeling to feeling and this is very risky.  One moment we can be calm, and the next moment we can be so angry that we just want to hurt others with our words.  When you start to feel yourself get out of control, how do you handle it?  You should know yourself well enough to know when you start to get out of control.  If you can catch it at level 2 before it gets to level 10, then it is much easier to stay calm and catch yourself before you get out of control. It is our job to hold ourselves accountable and to make sure we get better each time we slip up.  We cannot get so upset at ourselves when we make mistakes.  It shouldn't surprise us when we make mistakes because we already know that we are sinners and that we needed Jesus to die for us so we can be saved through his sacrifice.  The enemy loves to try and give us condemnation and make us feel guilty and stop us from growing in our faith with Christ.  We know that there is NO CONDEMNATION for those IN CHRIST JESUS!! Do you confess this out loud?  So what are you going through at the moment that is challenging you to step out and trust God boldly?  How many times do you seek God out throughout the day and read his word?  Maybe you haven't been believing that God can do anything.  Today can be a brand new day to where you start trusting him and taking him at HIS WORD.  Remember that he puts his own word above his name.
