The ONLY constant in life is change. Change is inevitable. It's naive and a mirage not to realize that wherever and whomever you are today is not constant. Some live as if change is an illusion. They violate everything and everyone leaving in their trail arrogance and naivety.
The visible and interim manifestation of change elicits either temporary joy or sorrow. Do not be deceived as the immediate manifestation is not a determinant of the end state. Whether joy or sorrow what is critical is change management
If change is not properly managed the individual or group becomes a victim of change. Some have failed awfully to manage a change that elicited joy and their end-state was nothing to write home about. Equally, some have managed a change that elicited interim sorrow poorly and have lived to regret.
Learn the art and science of change management from those who have walked this path. The infallible Word of God has a catalogue of heroes who are experts in change management.
Give up short term gratification for long term fulfillment. The short gratification gained by putting others down will deny the joy of long-term fulfillment of being a blessing unto others. Wise up.
Search the scriptures, meditate on the Word of God. Keep saying it; don't stop talking it. It will make you what it talks about.
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, there is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
Job 22:29
One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
Psalm 27:4
Everything in the world is about to be wrapped up, so take nothing for granted. Stay wide-awake in prayer.
1 Peter 4:7
Glory be to God.
God bless you.
