‘TIS THE SEASON: AS WE JOURNEY INTO A NEW SEASON IN OUR LIFE, LET US REFLECT ON OUR LIFE, THE CHANGES THAT HAVE OCCURRED, AND THE THINGS THAT HAVE SHAPED US. WHEN WE FINISH, LET’S THANK GOD FOR ALLOWING US EVERY DAY A NEW CHANCE TO START OVER, TO BECOME BETTER, AND FOR HIS MERCY THAT IS NEW EVERY DAY. WHEN WE ACCEPT JESUS AS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, WE CAN BREATHE KNOWING THAT THERE IS NO CONDEMNATION AND WE HAVE THE ASSURANCE THAT THERE IS RESTORATION AND REDEMPTION IN EVERY SEASON OF OUR LIFE.
INTRODUCTION: ‘TIS THE SEASON: DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE SEASON YOU ARE IN!
SCRIPTURE: ECCLESIASTES 8:1,7-8a,15
1 How wonderful to be wise, to analyze and interpret things. Wisdom lights up a person’s face,
softening its harshness.
7 Indeed, how can people avoid what they don’t know is going to happen?
8a None of us can hold back our spirit from departing. None of us has the power to prevent the day of our death.
15 So I recommend having fun because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.
Seasons may include turmoil, transitions, and transformation but know God controls them all. In these seasons God may be silent because he waiting for the proper time to speak in a way that you are able and ready to receive what He is saying.
God is not going to change your current situation because He is trying to change you, your heart, and your mind.
God is faithful, the seasons change, and we change but God remains the same. His love for us will never change. He is walking with us every step of the way, He is not allowing you to go through these seasons by yourself, He is there every step of the way, helping and molding us.
Time and seasons are on God's timeline, there is no need to get depressed, anxious, or impatient! Don't underestimate the power of what our Father is producing in your life. In the season of waiting be patient and allow the Lord to rescue you in a way that glorifies Him but is for your good. Waiting is a process but trust and believe there is transformation occurring in every season of your life.
The Grace of God changes everything, I am able to testify to this because of my own brokenness, deepest/darkest wounds, and devastating heartache. I know that I am so loved by Jesus, He has comforted me in ways I can never fully describe. Please don't let go of the rope of Hope in the midst of whatever God allows coming your way.
Embrace your seasons: NEW LIFE, NEW BEGINNINGS, NEW ENDINGS, NEW PURPOSE, NEW HOPE, NEW STRUGGLES, NEW TERRITORY, NEW POSITIONS, NEW COURAGE- YOUR NEWNESS IS ALWAYS A REASON TO CELEBRATE WHAT GOD IS DOING IN YOUR LIFE.
