"I have declared my ways and thou heardest me teach me thy statues. (Psalms 119)

Most of us like things pretty much the way they are. Husbands dislike having the furniture rearranged. Wives complain about hectic schedules, and employees hate changes. But there will come a point in everyone lives that a change has to eventually take place.

From a spiritual viewpoint once we've realized the fact that human nature always clints to the present and the familiar, once we admit that some of us don't like change our ways will be the same always.

Changing don't have to be hurtful or harsh for there is a loving God that can deal with us gently, understandingly, and He has a way of taking the pain out of the process. It isn't a traumatic experience if you let Him, God can modify your conduct without breaking your back or breaking your heart.

God can teach us His statues. He doesn't expect any of us to change ourselves for we cannot change ourselves. He will do the changing if we do the committing.

Hallelujah! Amen!
