Summary: The natural seasons are winter, spring, summer and autumn; there are also spiritual seasons in our lives.
Trust God in every season
“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8)
The natural seasons are winter, spring, summer and autumn; there are also spiritual seasons in our lives.
What spiritual season are you experiencing now?
Ecclesiastes reminds us that every season of life is purposeful.
We will face times of great difficulty and times of great joy.
We will experience seasons of hard work and seasons of plenty.
God wants to use each of these seasons to teach us something about who He is and how much He loves us.
We may never fully understand what God has planned for us, but our attitude toward life changes when we learn to see good times and bad times as opportunities to grow closer to our Heavenly Father.
As we learn to trust Him, we can enjoy the good times and the bad times knowing God is with us and He will make everything beautiful in its time. Are you trusting God to help you in the season you are in?
