ADAPTABILITY
SCRIPTURALLY TAUGHT

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28

“God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.”
Psalm 55:19

Changes and war are against me.”
Job 10:17

“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the RENEWING of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
Romans 12:2

“Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
James 4:13-15
