Transition Time

Transition Time

“So cheer up! Take courage all you who love him.  
Wait for him to break through for you, all who trust in him!”

Psalms 31:24

We were on our way to church one morning, we had music playing in the van and we were just singing away. The song ended and it got real quiet for a short time.  My daughter asked me “Why is it so quiet, did the song stop? When is the next song coming on?” I told her, sometimes the transition time between the songs can take longer.  

Once again, it was just a simple statement, but it struck my heart.  Sarah had thought the music had ended, that it had stopped. But in actuality, a new song was just beginning.  

We all go through times when life can’t get any better.  Everything seems to be going well and we feel great.  Then all of a sudden life collapses. Family emergencies creep up, unexpected illnesses fall on us or a loved one and/or totally unforeseen bills pile up.  The music stop has stopped and everything seems silent.  You beginning asking questions. Where is God? Is He still there? Why is all this happening to me?  

It can be so exhausting and defeating to face these trial and to walk through these times that God seems silent.  Satan wants you to feel like you have been abandoned and forgotten. Truth is, God is working in the silence. You are not alone. He is preparing a new song to be played.  

That is the hope that we have to hold onto. God is working and He won’t fail us. Life has not stopped. God has not stopped. We must go one! We have a choice to make.  Either to fall and lie in what life has “dealt” us, or to rise up and to breakthrough!  Wait for the victory that God has waiting for all of us.  Don’t give up. Ladies, the music has not ended, it has not stopped. Take courage!  This is only a transition time, a new song will be beginning.
