We often talk about the changes in our life and wonder why we have so many changes and especially the difficult changes. we struggle with change and how to handle change. But when you think about our physical wifey on this earth in comparison to her you turn on life with God, everything is, will be, and should be a transition from physical to spiritual and from today into eternity.
Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.”
We also know that it is only through Jesus, and no other way, to transition from this earth which will be destroyed and will end to the place that God is created – heaven. Jesus also said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know b my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8: “For everything there is a season, A time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.” Maybe the writer was thinking of how life changes and a time for different things as in the old has passed away and the new has arrived. Are we ready for life’s changes that must be and turning loose of things that must pass away?
This passage in Ecclesiastes is a particular passage that lists several things of this vs. that a common saying in Hebrew poetry indicating things are done out complete. While each time and season may seem odd, the underlying significance in the poem certainly describes a divinely purpose for everything we go through in our lives.
Our lives contain a mixture of joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, harmony and struggle, and life and death. Each season has its appropriate time in the cycle of life. Nothing stays the same, and we, as God’s children, must learn to accept and adjust to the ebb and flow of God’s design. Some seasons are difficult, and we may not understand what God is doing. In those times, we must humbly submit to the Lord’s plans and trust that he is working out his good purposes, (quoting Mary Fairchild).
Life Changes are often difficult and can be heart-breaking but we must center our lives in Jesus and what our eternal life will be like and yearn for the transition that will be the most significant ever!
