A CHANGE OF PLANS

Following Jesus includes many unexpected detours. The apostle Paul explains to the Corinthians how God is leading him. Transitions can be difficult on many levels. Relationships are complicated, and faithfulness to God is what matters the most in every situation.

How will you adjust?

1) If you listen to God, He will often guide you from the original plan to the new plan as you bless people.

2) When you make good changes, you will still disappoint people, be misunderstood, and pay a personal cost.

3) Focus on the presence and promises of God as you humbly stand firm and faithfully serve.

4) Have confidence in the Holy Spirit who will lead you with smaller changes that are linked to far more significant changes.
