Adapting to change is an important aspect of our lives. When we go to a new place, a new job, or a new country, we need to adapt to that new situation. As followers of Jesus, we must learn to adapt to new situations in life.
God is with us, and He knows everything about our lives. When we come to a new situation, we will not be afraid because we know that our God will help us. He will never leave us alone. Just as we see in the Old Testament that God never abandons His children, He will never abandon us either.
When Joseph was sold into Egypt by his brothers, God was with him in that new situation in his life. Again, when God brought Abraham out of his own country and brought him to another place, God was still with him. So we can boldly say that God is our helper, and He will help us to adapt to any situation.
When we come to know Jesus, many things change in our lives, and we have to accept them. For example, we do not go back to the path of sin, and we start walking on the path of righteousness. We face many challenges as we walk this new path in life, but we believe that God will strengthen and guide us.
So we will keep this in mind and try to adapt when we come into a new situation. Because our lives are not always the same, adapting to every change is proof of being a worthy child of God.
