Preparing for Power Part 1Exemplo

Embrace Change

In 1 Kings 17:7, we see God allowing the brook to dry up, forcing Elijah to depend on God in a new way (which we will explore in part 2). God uses this new challenge to move Elijah to a new place where God will use him in a new way. That’s a lot of new!

We sometimes see our situation changed for the worst in our own lives, and we complain and wonder why this is happening. Often God will use these things as a catalyst for a new thing He wants to do. Change is always happening in and around us, and when we allow God to transform our lives and demonstrate His incomparably great power through every new thing, He is glorified. Our lives become His light in a dark world of painful circumstances. Our challenge is to trust Him through it all.

Ask Yourself: How can I embrace an area of change in my life and shift my perspective to see God at work in it?

Pause to Pray: Father, open my eyes to see how You work through my life. Help me be patient in the preparation time and continue to trust You.

Take a Next Step: Share how depending on God has changed your life with someone.
