Navigating through Change
Navigating through life gets you through that life, but navigating through change helps you to flourish through that life.
Anybody can get through life. And the ways we find to cope are typically mechanisms to help us simply survive. they are the easy ways. They are ways to communicate like complaining, arguing, sarcasm, laying low, just get by, or bitterness. These might help us to get through life, but they won’t help us flourish.
To flourish, we must fight our desires to take the easy route, and navigate head first into change, especially in a world full of extraordinary and fast-paced changes. And in every area, we must meet those changes with the fierceness of someone who wishes to flourish.
Your friends may change. Your technology will change. Your clubs, groups, and churches will change, so too, will the things you’re able to do. Your job will change. Your likes and dislikes will change. And most of the people around you will change. This blog post sounds a little like the book of Ecclesiastes. The tone seems a bit down, but in the end, there is only one great common denominator, and He does not change.
But He helps us to change, and to navigate through those changes, so that in the end, we begin to understand that He is the one we rest upon. He is the one in whom we rest.
