Positive Change: Resist It or Embrace It? - Part 1

It seems logical that wholesome, healthy change should come easy.  However resistance to change can be problematic, even when it would be in everyone's best interest. Resistance to change can be related to fear, but the culprit can be anxiety because the future is always a bit uncertain.

Correct perception of what is needed and safe is related to our ability to comprehended and understand, or what is known as instinct or intuition. The tenacity to hold fast to beliefs, even false beliefs, can be a barrier to needed change. This is especially true when change threatens our sense of security. Listen to the Apostle Paul's warning from Romans 12:2.

"Do not become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without thinking.  Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what God wants from you and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you always dragging you down, God brings the best out of you." God be with you and bless you.
