Seasons
God has a perfect plan for our lives. As we walk daily with Him, we grow. As seasons change in nature, so do we change more and more into the image of God. I am not the same as I was at seventeen years old.
There are different times that God sets in our lives, like seasons come and go each year. A time for planting and a time for harvesting.. This is how we develop in our lives and grow up to maturity in Christ. God has made the rhythm of life in the world, our lives follow the same pattern as we follow Him closely. These scripture verses explain His will for us. He knows the beginning from the ending of our lives. When seasons are difficult, God is weaving good out of it for His purpose. The saying “We just see the underside of the tapestry, but God sees the finished product” is so true in life. Hindsight tells the perfect story. We were called for such a time as this!
I pray a Happy New Year to all.
1 Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
1-To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the Heaven:
2-A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3-A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4-A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5-A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6-A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7-a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8-A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Psalm 1:3
And he [who delights in the law of the Lord] shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Proverbs 3:5-6
5-Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6-In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.
Romans 8:28
And we know that all good things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.
