THE CONSTANCY OF CHANGE

For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day” – 2Cor.4:16

Change is the most constant thing in the universe: Life is a consistent movement of change, not a monument of monotony. Life is more about the possibilities of the future than the memories of the past. Nothing is permanent! It would be strange to find someone wearing the same cloth for ten years. Everything in life wears away. Everything in life has an expiration date. Even the spiritual requires constant renewal (2Cor.4:16). The scriptures consistently affirm the constancy of Change:

• For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.  Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified (Rom.8:29-30).

• But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (2Cor.3:18).

Salvation is essentially about spiritual transformation. Change is packaged into the reality of Redemption. God’s ultimate Purpose is that we change from glory to glory, and be conformed to the Image of His Son. This same principle of Change applies to every aspect of life and destiny. You cannot afford to have wrong attitudes to change. That would be like sailing against the tides. Beloved, please ponder on these questions:

How do you see change? What is your attitude to change?

Do you believe in change or are you afraid of change?

Do you want to contemplate the prospect of change?

Do you look at change as a threat or as a basis for hope?

Do you resist change or do you embrace change?

A wise man said: “When you are through changing, you’re through!”
