What do you do when you are faced with challenging times, a difficult season of life, or simply a moment when things don’t go the way you had hoped? I don’t know anyone in history, with the exception of God Almighty, who has had everything unfold exactly as they wanted. Things happen, opinions change, circumstances evolve, and sometimes life simply doesn’t go according to our plans. That is just part of living in an imperfect world.

So, what do you do during those times? I don’t know about you, but those are the moments that cause me to lean even more heavily on my faith. Malachi 3:6 says, “For I am the Lord, I change not.” I take great comfort in knowing that regardless of what happens here on earth, God never changes. His Word never changes, His promises never change, and His principles of right and wrong never change. In a world where almost everything seems uncertain, we serve a God who is forever constant and faithful.

So, when challenging moments come, or when you find yourself walking through a difficult season of life, take heart, take a deep breath, and rest in the assurance that God is still on His throne. He is still ever-present, He is still in control, and nothing that happens in this world catches Him by surprise. And never forget, no matter how complicated or impossible your circumstances may seem, God can change everything and bring about His perfect plan in the twinkling of an eye. KT
