Change

If you're like me at all, you're not much for things changing. Change is uncomfortable. It leaves one filled with uncertainty. However, I believe our God allows circumstances to change so that we as human beings don't rely on anything or anyone other than God Himself. I often find myself uneasy and even trying to cling to the familiar. God doesn't want that for us, as His children. Relying or trusting in anything or anyone other than the Lord is not only unhealthy, but can cause others to become our idols. God knows that our hearts are wayward and He desires our utmost attention and affections. Anything that we put before God or desire more than Him is an idol.

 

Pretty much, God has been trying to get my attention. God hasn't completely removed everything that I've been trying to find my security in, but I believe it could come to that. I've been running to and confiding in people other than the One that cares about me the most. Just even the idea of people in my life moving away or leaving me, has revealed what I've put my security in. It's okay to not want people to move away, but for me to cling to the familiarity and find my security in people can be very detrimental to my relationship with God.
