SHIFT

Do you recognize when people or things shift in your life? Do you embrace it or do you do your best to keep things the way they were?

I have been a part of groups where people and things change. In these groups there is always one person who refuses to recognize that there has been a shift in the program. That person continues to try to function in the old way and they refuse to understand that the old way no longer works for the group. So what happens, they get angry, they try to impose their opinion on others, and they cause a lot of confusing. Whatever the situation is it becomes a total mess because one person refuses to shift with the group.

Think about when you’re driving your car, you have to shift those gears to either go forward or backwards. If those gears don’t shift you don’t move, you stall out, you can’t reach your desired destination. When you refuse to shift you refuse to grow.

This is what happens when God causes a shift in our lives. We start to feel uncomfortable because it’s unfamiliar to us. So we fight it. In our need to continue to control we cause our lives and those around us to not function the way God intended for us to function.

1 Peter 5:5 …….”God resists the proud, but gives to the humble.”

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT YOU ALWAYS
