Ok, so this week, (actually mainly today) I've been dealing with change...not a new concept to me, but one that still hurts every time. So I decided to look up some stuff, and actually I like what I found. Some change is for the good, and some is for the bad. But all of it is how God wants it. Psalm 103:15-18 says "Our days on earth are like grass; like wildflowers, we bloom and die. the wind blows, and we are gone-as though we have never been here. But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him His salvation extends to the children's children of those who are faithful to his covenant, of those who obey his commandment." So people live and die, that's a given. We can't have someone here forever, and when we take them for granted, thats the big problem. But I like the wind analogy that David uses here. "the wind blows and we are gone as though we have never been here" Thats the one thats so hard to accept for me. I hate having someone here and then walk away, but I'm learning that maybe God has a much bigger plan; like maybe although it seems like we're losing them, there is really a bigger plan for both of them. I dont know, I'm just making an observation. But coudl that be true? I mean, change is somethign that everyone has to go through at one point or another, but I'm sure i'm not alone when I say that I'm not alone. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 talks about how there is a season for all things (which I think refers to change) "For everything there is a seson, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to harvest . A time to kill and a time to heal, A time to tear down and a time to build up. a time to cry and a time to laugh, A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A tim to tear and a time to mend A time to quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace." So basically, when I sum up the significance of that passage, I see that when there is a change, whether significant or insignificant, maybe this was written in order to show people that there really is a reason why change takes place. I mean, basically, there is an example of every change that occurs really. So are these changes in life right now good or bad?
