Transitions often serve as markers for our lives. Go back through your life and you'll see—that new job. Graduation. Your first kid. Your tenth kid. These transitions shape where we are today. They shape our perspective and our attitude... and we never take the time to reflect and look back.

Often the point of great danger is when you're done with the transition. You got the job. You made the team. You moved to your new house. The whole time, you sought God and got through the challenges... you made it. Now what?

We've all been in transition. It could be school, a job, a relationship, your health, retirement... Whatever it is, we've all made mistakes that lead to overwhelming circumstances that discourage us. We feel like we need to fix it. But when has solving a problem with another problem ever worked?

Satan doesn't play fair. In our transitions, there are times when everything comes together and it's awesome. But then we hit a valley and we act surprised. Like we didn't expect problems to arise. It's when we least expect it that the Enemy strikes.

Life gets busy. Responsibilities and commitments overwhelm us and we get lost in the details. Sometimes the day-to-day stuff gets to us and we lose our sense of perspective. We start to focus on ourselves and what we need but Scripture continually teaches us that God is writing the story and it's not about us.

You've probably been through a transition or two and experienced victory and success... but you've also experienced failure and disappointment. And we tend to look at life as a tangible, physical thing, which leads us to dwell on our failures. But there is more to life than what we can see.
