Start your day off with this 1 minute devotional from Pastor Mike Fabarez of Focal Point Radio Ministries.

Mike Fabarez: Though we often resist it, change is such an important part of God's plan for his children. Honestly, most of us prefer the cozy security of the familiar. But becoming more and more like Christ usually involves change, and that in large doses.

Throughout the Bible, we see God changing the setting and the circumstances of his people as he moves them into new levels of maturity and effectiveness. So next time you find God's plan bringing some uncomfortable period of adjustment for you or your family or your church, just remember that change is God's tried and true method of preparing you and positioning you to be all that he wants you to be.
