A Daily Devotional

About the power to stay where you are�

Psalm 103:26 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded. 27 But you remain the same, and your years will never end. 28 The children of your servants will live in your presence; their descendants will be established before you." (NIV)

Ephesians 6:11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. (NIV)

In life's ups and downs, there is a time to change and a time to remain fixed. Positive change takes wisdom to know what to do in every circumstance. Positive change takes a heart willing to only go in the direction of God's will. Changing is not always God's will. The essential message of our faith in Christ has not changed in two thousand years. Through every crisis, through every trial, and through every tumult, our essential Christian message has remained the same for two thousand years�redemption and salvation through faith in Christ.

There will be times when you desperately want to change parts of your life. However, you must pray earnestly God keeps you where you are according to His will. You must also pray earnestly God does move you to change if changing is His will. In the end, at the very last moment of your life, where you live, what obstacles you encountered along the way, and the circumstances you had to face in life, make little difference. For in the end, as you see Jesus and feel His love wrapped around you in Heaven, the only thing making any real difference will be whether you remained steadfast in your love, in your devotion, and in your service for Him.
