00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,200
Hey guys, time for a coffee break in the Bible.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:10,880
And today we're going to be talking a little bit about life changes.

3
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,760
Sometimes things happen in life a little bit out of our control.

4
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,280
Sometimes a lot out of our control.

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,800
Now change, it can go a number of ways.

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:25,200
It could be one of those moments that is wonderful and inspires us.

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,940
Another time, and quite often this is the case.

8
00:00:28,940 --> 00:00:32,880
We tend to become fearful and anxious.

9
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,520
And it really just comes down to the fact that we feel so out of control.

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,800
We don't know what's going, we don't know what's going to come of it.

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:46,880
But rest assured, God's still in control and he has a plan for your life.

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:55,480
A plan of hope and love because he wants you to prosper in life.

13
00:00:55,480 --> 00:01:02,680
So just a reminder, we need to learn to keep our eye on him and not the storm and the chaos

14
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,600
that's going on around us.

15
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,800
That's what helps us to grow and to be more like Christ.

16
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,840
We're promised that he's going to take care of us.

17
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:25,140
Now with that said, Deuteronomy 31 verse 6, the Bible says this, be strong and courageous

18
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:32,460
to not be afraid or terrified because of them for the Lord your God goes with you.

19
00:01:32,460 --> 00:01:38,400
He will never leave you nor forsake you.

20
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:45,360
Sometimes we forget God's always with us.

21
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,640
We just need to remember to speak to him, to let us know what's going on.

22
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Sometimes it's really that easy because that's all he's waiting for is for us to actually

23
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,680
bear ourselves to him, our vulnerability, our humanness.

24
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:10,400
Hebrews chapter 6 verse 19 says, we have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.

25
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,240
It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.

26
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,000
See Jesus is our anchor, he is our rock, he is what we build our foundation on, he is

27
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,960
what takes care of us.

28
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:30,160
He's not just the gateway, but the person that we need to look to more than anyone.

29
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,920
God, he's the same yesterday, he's the same today and forever will be.

30
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:41,640
So even though times are turbulent and quite often when change is happening, it's very

31
00:02:41,640 --> 00:02:49,240
easy to get caught up in and to become angry or feel fearful or start feeling anxiety.

32
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:58,240
But remember it's in those times when we're at our most human and our most vulnerable

33
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,640
that we need to turn to God.

34
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:03,420
Jesus is knocking at the door.

35
00:03:03,420 --> 00:03:07,760
We just need to open that door and let him in and be like, hey man, this is what's going

36
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,040
on.

37
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,280
This is what's happening.

38
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,840
I need you, I need help.

39
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,080
And he will be there for you.

40
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,160
He'll be there for us all.

41
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,160
Remember, you're loved, you are a blessing.
