Storms of Transitions

You're Not in a Storm, You're in a Transition. Hold On, God Knows What He's Doing


- Isaiah 43:19 (NIV): "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."

- Romans 8:28 (NIV): "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."


In Isaiah 43:19, God speaks through the prophet Isaiah to remind us that He is always at work, doing new things even when we can't see it. This verse encourages us to open our spiritual eyes and recognize that God is making a way where there seems to be no way, bringing life and hope to desolate places. Similarly, Romans 8:28 reassures us that God works in all circumstances for the good of those who love Him. This verse is a reminder that our challenges and trials are not without purpose; they are part of God's divine plan.


Good morning Ekklesia Family,


Today, I want to speak into your hearts: You're not in a storm; you're in a transition. Hold on, for God knows what He’s doing. Life’s challenges often feel like raging storms, threatening to overwhelm us. But what if these storms are actually transitions, orchestrated by God to move us from where we are to where He wants us to be?


Imagine the Israelites standing at the edge of the Red Sea, with Pharaoh's army closing in. To them, it must have seemed like a devastating storm. But in reality, it was a divine transition. God was about to part the waters and lead them into freedom. What they perceived as an impassable barrier was actually the pathway to their promised future.


In your own life, the difficulties you face may seem insurmountable, but trust that God is at work. He is the Master of transitions. He knows the way through your wilderness and is creating streams in your wastelands. The very things that appear to be your undoing are being used by God to set the stage for your next breakthrough.


1. Shift Your Perspective: When faced with challenges, remind yourself that you are in a God-ordained transition, not a hopeless storm. This mindset shift can help you see opportunities instead of obstacles.


2. Stay Grounded in Scripture: Regularly meditate on God's promises, like Isaiah 43:19 and Romans 8:28. Let these truths anchor your faith and provide reassurance of God's faithfulness.


3. Embrace the Process: Transitions can be uncomfortable, but they are necessary for growth. Trust God's timing and methods, knowing that He is refining and preparing you for greater things.


4. Seek Community Support: Share your journey with fellow believers in our Ekklesia family. Encouragement and prayer from others can provide the strength you need to persevere.


Dear ones, hold on to God's promises. He is working all things for your good. What seems like a storm is a transition to a place of greater purpose and blessing. Trust in His plan and let your faith be your anchor.


Heavenly Father, thank You for being with us in every season of life. Help us to trust You in the midst of our transitions. Open our eyes to see Your hand at work, making a way in the wilderness and bringing streams to our wastelands. Strengthen our faith and help us to hold on to Your promises. In Jesus' name, Amen.
