Thought For Today

But when he (ruler) heard this he became sad, for he was very rich.  Luke 18:23

Lord how hard it is for us to change.  Even though we often know that change is best for us it is still very hard.

This man was very rich and You were asking him to give up everything he had and come follow You.  He became very sad because it mean he would have to change everything that he loved and enjoyed.  Oh how we all can identify with him.  It is one thing to choose to change and another thing to change because we are forced into that change.

There are many people today that are forced to change because of the economy.  This man was different.  He was given the choice.

Thank You Lord that when You call us to change You are right there with us.

Thank You that when changes are forced upon us You are there too.

We have You with us no matter what and that is the good news Lord.

Thank You Lord that You give us peace in the midst of changes as we trust You.

Thank You that  we can make it holding Your hand and trusting.

Thank You Lord.
