So when the people broke camp to cross the Jordan, the priests carrying the ark of the covenant went ahead of them. Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge, the water from upstream stopped flowing. So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. – Joshua 3:14-16; 21:43 (NIV)
Do you welcome or dread change? I’m sure we would all agree that whether we like it or not everything around us is constantly changing. Even the earth from where we sit spins at approximately 700 to 900 miles per hour. Due to the constant change, most of our lives are spent in the hallway of transition. It seems that we are always working toward arriving at a certain point in life and then when that moment arrives the next transition phase begins. Change is inevitable; the key factor is how we deal with and respond to change.
In the hall of transition there is a door before and behind us. If we make a decision to digress to our past, true contentment can never be realized. Even the past does not stay the same…the only constant in that equation will be the individual who chooses to stay behind. Nevertheless, in order to close the door to the past and walk forth into the door of the unfamiliar it will take a huge step of faith. At times it may feel like God is calling us to walk on water.
The door that is placed before us, in the hallway of transition, beacons to be opened. The truth of the matter is that we can not take possession of our destiny until we open the door and take that first step forward. It’s impossible for our destiny to move toward us. It’s the forward step of faith that releases our destiny and allows our path to intersect with God’s preordained plan for our future.
Prayer
Lord, I ask You to strengthen my inner man so that as I am in the hallway transition I will always keep my eyes, feet and hands facing forward to take hold and walk through the door that unleashes my destiny.
