“I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.  Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.  “But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’  “Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me. “But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’“In tithes and offerings.  You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me.  Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.  I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty.  “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.

Malachi 3:6-12 (NIV)

All Things Do Change Yet God Never Changes and God uses the changes of our life, the swift transitions, to offer us opportunities to return to Him.  As changes are different than the norm and create uncomfortablity, in and for our lives, and thus we must choose to adjust to the change.  It is in the process of us choosing and adjusting God provides us opportunities to Open Up The Way to His will, His pathway for our lives.  Often life with its changes can leave us out there dangling and unsure, however, the change can create the opportunity for us to adjust, in particular, to reconcile to God’s will and way for our lives.  Although God’s way may seem impossible or difficult to navigate, the change allows us to choose God in our transitions, letting go and letting God lead and direct us to His pathway for our life and life more abundantly, becoming His witnesses, His intent for our lives.
