The end of a thing is better than its beginning; the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Ecclesiastes 7:8
I want to talk to you today about transition: Transition is the movement, the passage, or change from one position, from one stage, from one state to another.
Transition is the passing from one condition to another, it does not matter who we are or where we come from, we all go through transitions, life is full of transitions.
We transition from one job to another job, from one relationship to another relationship. Life is always moving, because life is about growing and moving forward.
Transition is somewhere in the middle, it’s in the middle of going in and coming out, it’s in the middle of going through and going to, it’s in the middle of your pit and your palace, your breakup and your break through, it’s in the middle of your layoff and your latter rain, it’s in the middle of your pain and your promises, it’s right in the middle of fear and faith.
Transition is a challenging thing; it is a challenging thing to be going somewhere but not knowing where you are going. Transition is that place of preparation, because it is God that is working on our rough edges, it is God that is pruning us, humbling us, and preparing us.
But listen the good thing is God uses transition to move us, to nudge us, and to push us because if he did not, we would stay right in that place that place of contentment that place of comfort.
We must trust God in the season that we are in, we must trust him despite what it feels like, or looks like, we must trust him even if we have to trust him by ourselves.
Trust is all you can do when you do not have any the answer, when you do not have the solution all you can do is trust him. When you have prayed and God has not given you an answer yet all you can do is trust him, when you are left without explanation, without understanding, without reasoning all you can do is trust God.
And so there will be seasons of transitions but while you are in your season of transition until this season is over have a made-up mind to trust God and learn how to wait.
Trust in the lord with all thy heart and lean not to your own understanding acknowledge him in all your ways and he will direct your path.
So, wake! And Trust God!
“Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion.”
