Your Change Will Come

I have been walking closely with the Lord for nearly twenty years, but even now there are some things that I still struggle with. While I’ve come a long way, and I’m not the person I was many years ago, I long to see some dramatic and lasting changes in certain areas of my life. I was thinking and praying about these things the other day, when the Lord led me to a verse in the book of Job that ministered encouragement to me. It says, “All the days of my struggle I will wait until my change comes.” (Job 14:14 NASB)

This was God’s loving way of letting me know that if I would simply keep my eyes on Him, and if I would trust Him to continue to work in my heart and life, that “change” that I am longing for will eventually manifest. The Amplified translation says, “I will wait till my change and release shall come.” That word “release” fills me with a fresh sense of hope every time.

This is God’s promise to you, too, if you are struggling in some area today. Don’t just wait for your change or release—but wait with expectation and hope. Look to the Lord and His plan of victory for you, and quote this verse often. Then rest assured that your change will come, not just for a day, but for all time!
