Stuck In A Season
Galatians 6:9, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Hello friends! This is another day to give thanks! We may not see the positive all at once, but it will get better. Just need to turn that frown upside down inwardly and outwardly! Maybe it’s been a rough week, month, possibly the whole year. But we need to reach deep to find that it is only a season for now. In the world there are seasons in nature that we learn to endure; some with pleasure others with dread. When we look close, we realize that in humans we tend to have seasons also. The natural seasons contain four well known seasons: Spring, summer, winter and fall, then the cycle just starts over. Not every country in the world experiences the changes that come in those four seasons. Antarctica has no hot summer, as Africa has no snowy winter; yet they have seasons purposely made for them. Our seasons consist of growth, change and renewal just like in nature. In life we will face birth, death, weeping and joy. The seasons we will endure are the dry season, the waiting season, the grinding season, testing and trial season, spiritual warfare season, and the happy season. The problem with our seasons are that we do not know the exact or particular time they will occur or the length of time that they will last. What we need to focus on is that they won’t last forever if we trust in the promises God provided us. Even in death, the loss and pain won’t be forgotten, but it will be a season we work through. So today, stop doubting the process or the timing. Bring your thoughts to what the outcome can be if we rely on God’s presence with us. If you are sick of being in one season, then work to get through it, change it, grow from it! You can only be stuck in a season if you refuse to move toward an answer! If you feel you can’t do it alone, remember, you are never alone, God is there, waiting for you to move! So, today, make that season be a memory, no more of being stuck!
