“Keys For Change”

Gratitude:UnFiltered “Keys For Change”

Keys to Change

Change is one of the most important factors in human life,

whether that change is imposed on us or we’ve created the

change ourselves and are eagerly anticipating its possibilities.

Yet most people don’t manage change effectively and

positively.

~~~

How we relate to change has a significant impact on our quality

of life and whether or not we accomplish what we are meant to

during our time on earth. Understanding how to view, respond

to, and benefit from change is vital to a well-balanced and

fulfilling life.

~~~

God is the original Innovator who initiated the principle of

change on earth by creating time and seasons. “God said, ‘Let

there be lights in the expanse of the sky…, and let them serve

as signs to mark seasons and days and years’” (Genesis 1:14).

Our world functions in time because God created it that way.

~~~

Natural rhythms exist all around us. There are seasons in

nature, with corresponding changes in the weather, and

seasons in our bodies. There are seasons in our personal lives

and seasons within the changing tides of human history. The

very nature of seasons implies change.

~~~

Some of the change we experience is a result of evil acts

perpetrated by others. Sin entered the world when humanity

rebelled against God and went its own way. Yet change itself is

not a result of the fall of humanity. It is built into creation.

~~~

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity

under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). One of God’s promises is that

everything on earth is only for a season. This truth may be

called the “promise paradox.”

~~~

Five foundational principles of change are (1) nothing on earth

is as permanent as change

(2) change is continual

(3) everything changes

(4) change is inevitable

(5) change is a principle of life and creation.
