WHAT’S SO DIFFICULT ABOUT CHANGE?
1. CHANGE FEELS RISKY
2. CHANGE FEELS LIKE YOU ARE LOSING SOMETHING
3. CHANGE TAKES WORK
4. CHANGE CAN MAKE US FEEL POWERLESS
5. CHANGE CAN MAKE US FEEL LOST
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Fear God and keep his commandments…
