The
wonder of the human species is that we're perpetually in transition, even if
changes exist unnoticed. This may be difficult to accept for those who appreciate
constancy. God created us for transitions even though change can be disruptive.
For those who have reached mid-life, disruptions may be a frequent occurrence whether at work, in the family, or in personal
lives.
Turmoil is a time to make needed changes
that were previously overlooked. What would you say personally defines you at
this stage of your life? What are your major concerns? Jesus asked a related
question in Matthew 6:25, "Is not life more important than food for the
body, more important than clothes?" How could this question be re-framed for
today?
Change
could include redefining what you want to pass on to others who observe you,
listen to what you say, or use you as a model for their lives. Jesus gave us this
guideline: "Seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness and all these
other things will be given to you." This might be a difficult choice, but
in reality there could be no better decision.
