CHANGE FINDS YOU

With change comes fear, insecurity, sorrow, and stress. Change finds you. It found the apostle Peter. He and his pals were sailing on calm waters when all of a sudden a storm hit. When Peter saw Jesus walking on the water, he decided to step out in faith on the water. It is possible to walk right over the storms of change – Peter proved it!

Unfortunately, one other thing changed Peter’s mind. “… when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, ‘Lord, save me!’” (Matthew 14:30 NIV). When Peter saw Christ, he was strong. When he saw the storm, he was not. One thing to remember: as Peter sank, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” He knew where to find help, and Jesus reached out his hand to catch Peter. Jesus is always there to pull us to safety.

Holy Thoughts

When you see the successful, are you jealous? When you see others struggle, are you pompous? Do you assume the worst about the future? If so, you suffer from what I call DTPs – destructive thought patterns.

Oh to be DTP-free. No energy lost, no time wasted. A lifetime of healthy and holy thoughts would render anyone a joyful genius. But where would you find such an individual?

Blame DTPs on sin. It messes with our minds. So, God changes us by changing our mind. By considering the glory of Christ. To behold him is to become like him. Give him your best thoughts, and see if he doesn’t change your mind!

An Uncommon Call

Jesus’ obedience began in a small town carpentry shop. His uncommon approach to his common life groomed him for his uncommon call. In order to change the world Jesus had to say goodbye to his world. 1 Peter 1:20 (TLB) says, “God chose him for this purpose long before the world began.” Every ounce of suffering had been scripted. It just fell to him to play the part.

When you come up with a word for such love, give it to Christ. For the day he left Nazareth is the day he declared his devotion for you and me. But God, immense in mercy and with an incredible love, embraced us. He took our sin-dead lives and made us alive in Christ. Perhaps we’re not so common after all!
