Seasons Come and Go
I Peter 1:6, “Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations.”
Good morning and salutations! How are we feeling? Is it scorching outside? Or is it just nippy spring time or fall weather? Maybe its bitter cold and your bones feel its intense coldness? Seasons come and go while we endure the different temps, weather, change of clothing. This is also in life as we grow in body, spirit, and mind. We went from a child to a teen, then to a young adult. Finally, we reached that point where we can say we are an adult. No more feelings of inadequacy; we are experienced and ready for the real world! These seasons came and went as time moved on. We grew into values, personality, temperament, love, expectance. But as the seasons move so shall we in every aspect of life. New job, new friends, new home, new city, new relationship, then marriage, family, responsibility! The seasons will keep coming because life is a season given to us so we can develop in all things. Our relationship with God is the same. We come to a season of acceptance, then we must begin the journey of which He has planned working toward that final goal in heaven. Taking one season at a time on the path to fulfillment in a personal relationship with Him becomes a blessing. “And the Lord, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed,” Det. 31:8. God provides all the other seasons to help us in working through the wrong paths, the wrong choices; pushing us towards the right ones. This journey is exciting and worth the changes good and bad! Just take time to realize all seasons come and go!
