A Time for EverythingECC.3:1 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
The secret to knowing the peace that God offers is to discover, accept and appreciate that God is the only one with perfect timing.
Being a child of God is amazing because it means that no matter what season of life we find ourselves in, we can choose to celebrate and honor God in the midst of it.
We can make a choice to grow in the fullness of God and recognize the wondrous season God has plopped you in. As you are appreciating the season, no matter what it is, you are becoming more like your Creator.
We all have our favorite seasons.
Some like the new beginnings that spring offers.
Summer is a favorite of others because of the opportunity to enjoy long sunny days.
Fall can bring people happiness because of cooler temperatures, colorful leaves and bountiful crops.
Still others love winter for blazing fires, warm clothes and snuggle blankets.
EVERY SEASON IS HANDCRAFTED BY GOD FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, the season you are experiencing is no different.
Some seasons are more fun and comfortable than others. Some we enjoy, some not so much. But each season provides an opportunity to learn something more about ourselves and our God.
If we weather the storm, we sometimes get to see our God reveal himself as miraculous and wonderful right before our eyes. .
We don’t always get to choose the seasons we experience in life, but we can choose to know that God is there with us.
There are times we simply don’t understand the season we are in. However, knowing God trumps knowing answers.
No matter the season bestowed upon you. Take a moment to thank God and ask Him to reveal Himself to you.
