Change

Read Ecclesiastes 3:1-11

There is a right time for everything. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (TLB)

Asher Broome lives in Georgia. You know what Asher likes about fall? It is the season of change in ourselves as well. Sometimes the change is physical or mental, and sometimes we change spiritually.

This past week the weather really couldn't make up its mind. On a cool Friday afternoon, Asher was riding home from middle school. and he found himself looking out the window. He was thinking about how much the trees and nature had changed and how beautiful the changes were. and then he thought about how much he had changed, how his family and his friends had changed, and how beautiful those changes are too. And God is working in these transitions to make our lives even more beautiful.

Change happens around us, within us, and sometimes right in front of us. Sometimes things change in strange ways, but in the end, the change reveals God's work in the world.

Prayer: Dear God, thank you for all that you have done for us and in us. We pray that you keep changing the world, the future, and our lives, in Jesus' name. Amen.
