Welcome back as we continue to consider the thought: “Transition is empowering when embraced!”
Definition of ‘Transition’: movement, or change from one position, state, subject, season, concept, etc., to another; change: the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

I find that days of transition are days of questions, of feeling vulnerable and insecure, days when you desperately need to refocus on God’s faithfulness and God’s integrity. Your trust in Him has to go to a new level in times of transition. Why? Because transition is a time of change. Transition is when we go from familiar to the unknown, from the secure to the vulnerable.

The reason why so many avoid it rather than embrace it is that transition is scary!
But, friends, transition is inevitable if we are to grow.

Transition touches all of our lives at various moments and can touch every area of who we are and our personal world. It must. If transition isn’t allowed to change your heart, your personal world, it has failed in its objective. It has failed because transition is all about changing you! It is about the preparation of your heart for the new season of God. It is about your enlargement of spirit and faith, the creation of a deeper well of potential within you. Transition is about increasing your capacity for life!

All our lives we have known times of transition.

For example there is the transition from Primary School to Secondary School. If we had not been willing to leave our friends in Primary School we would never have discovered our friends in Secondary School. That Secondary School became a place of greater empowerment because we embraced the need for that transition. If we had sat in our first year in High School and resented that transition, it would never have empowered us.

Transition is empowering when embraced, but only when it is embraced. But it was hard at the time. The decision to embrace that transition can and often is hard!
I say it again: it can be hard when you embrace a fundamental change in life.

But I want to assure you that the Author of that change will also become your empowerment and sufficiency for that change. Your loving Father does not lead you there to see you struggle but to reveal Himself to you in a unique way. As you turn your gaze from the perplexity of the questions to the security of His love, you will find there is always that grace available for each new day.

Thanks for your company.
See you again next week.
David.
