Thriving through change {Day 1}

Casting Crowns::Thrive

This song popped into my head as soon as I felt this topic come on. We were not made to remain stagnant. We are meant to change. Not just change but to thrive while going through it. So we start this series with a simple question:

WHAT IS CHANGE?

That may seem like a silly question. Of course, we all know change. After all, everything around us changes every day. For most, even every minute.

Change is as certain as death.

Change defined is this:
a. To cause to be different.
b. To give a completely different form or appearance to; transform.

Change happens in multiple ways. Whether it be physically, emotionally, spiritually, mentally, visibly or not. Most change has one thing in common. It hurts.

So this month we'll be looking into how change forms us. How we can not only tolerate, but learn and grow through times of intense change. As well as see different ways this change can and should draw us closer to our Creator. After all, He knows when, where and how change is coming. The best way to be prepared for it is to remain in consistent contact with Him.
