For He will hide me in His shelter in the day of trouble; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will lift me high upon a rock. Psalm 27:5
The Only Constant
I resisted change for a long time. I like to be comfortable and like to hide in my comfort zone. It's safe there. In a world full of uncomfortable, it is easy to sit and stagnate in a soft, warm place.
I'm better with change now (definitely still a work in progress). I want change - maybe even crave it - but it is process. When the borders become uncomfortable, change cannot happen fast enough. The right change happens in God's timing in our lives. He is perfect and sovereign and wants what is best for us. We cannot see over the borders which is scary, but He can.
God will leave us in our comfort zones if we resist His calling us out. We can continue to hide there but when we need healing and restoration in our lives, we most likely will need to move on from where we are. He brings healing and restoration to us when we let Him and we probably have to get a little uncomfortable for that to happen. Growing pains.
It is true what they say - the only constant in nature is change. It is the most uncertain thing that is certain. I say for us, the only constant in change is God. In the most uncertain times, He is the most certain. No matter what the season, or the zone, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Make Him your comfort zone. We can trust Him to be with us every uncomfortable step of the way. He can be our comfort zone and safe place that we never outgrow but is always there by our side, no matter what we face.
