| Beloved, times and seasons are in My hands. They have been firmly rooted and I marked them...... I set them in order with the Word of My mouth Genesis 1:14 I appointed the moon for seasons and the sun itself knows the exact time of its setting Psalm 104:19 In other words seasons are important to Me. They herald the beginning and the ending of things, a season for this and a season for that. I created the natural seasons; spring , winter, summer and fall. and they have not ceased to exit for they were set as immovable by My word. to everything there is a season in both the natural and the spiritual Ecclesiastes 3:1
Seeing I have been perfectly capable and trustworthy to hold the times and seasons in place, I am more than able to handle and help you navigate the seasons in your life....more than giving you counsel just as I gave David in his night seasons Psalms 16:7
May it comfort you to know how all the great ones who served Me went through seasons and times, many times going through things they did not understand at the moment or not at all. Do you think Abraham fully understood the season of waiting for Issac? Did David fully understand the seasons of life he would go through after Samuel anointed him with oil? Did Joseph understand the seasons of his life which ultimately facilitated in him being the provision of a nation?
what should be the common factor in all seasons of life in order to not extend or prolong them beyond their extended length?
It is obedience and willingness to be like David and listen to the counsel of the heart. My children stayed forty years in the desert.
Beloved, I never do anything just to have something to do. All is planned and appointed for times and seasons. Understanding this will free you when difficult times come, will free you when difficult seasons come. Know that I have already given you everything you need to be the "seasonal plant" you need to be in the season you are experiencing or in ones to come. I have given you everything you need pertaining to life and godliness. I have given you everything you need the seed of Life, Christ. times may be seasonal, but My son is eternal. Knowing this is how you survive with joy in trying times. How you survive in the appointed valleys of life.
Ecclesiasts 3:1 To everything is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven.
Lord, there is truly a time and a season under the sun for every purpose. When I remind myself of this truth I cease to worry or fret. The season I am in may not be the season of the harvest, yet, the season of the harvest is coming. How I love knowing that my time is in Your hands. I have nothing to fear as I rest in the comfort of Your sovereign care.
Season have a purpose divinely created for them by You. this includes the seasons of my life as well. In my life there are also purposes and they too will bring forth fruit in their appointed time as I submit to the kind of intentions of Your heart for me.
Lord , I THANK YOU for helping me to navigate through the seasons of my life, and all the transitions I go through as I travel on this journey called life with You. I surrender my obedience and willingness to follow You as we go through this process together. I will listen to the counsel of Your heart and not lean on my own understanding. I look to You for You are the joy of my salvation as I wait on You all day long. I will embrace the seasons as they come and as they go. May I be obedient to learn all the lesson You desire to teach me in the midst of every season as the glorious living water of Christ lives through me. AMEN
For it is with God all things are possible

| Everyone goes through good times and bad; together they make times of our lives that shape us. Bad times will come, and you won't have the strength to handle bad times , they defeat you. when we focus only on bad times , we miss out on all the good time, that both make life. Make certain your attitude toward life is such that you do enjoy the season. PRAISE GOD, that neither good times or bad will make you falter in your faith , but make your stronger, more aware of God's presence.
That's pearl of wisdom. If things are going your way, prepare for the time when they won't. Set your peaks and valleys of time. Build your life on God's Word and you will be on the things that happen in time, and you will be faithful with joy.
A time to gain and time to lose; have faith, trust and hope. As you recognize that season come and go, does it help you to put into perspective what you are going through right now?
Daniel 2:21 He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and the knowledge to those who have understanding.
Psalm 16:7 I will bless the Lord, who has given me counsel ; yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Yes, my Beloved, will have many seasons which come and go. The key to let seasons come and let seasons go, all the while being obedient to learn their lessons without putting Me in a box. The key, to use a natural phrase, is not to try and produce apples when pears are needed......to not try and produce corn when wheat is needed. for you will have many "seasonal plants" throughout your life. All you have to do is know that the soul of any season is Christ, the imperishable ever Fruitful One.

| A very important fact of life to accept...the seasons of our lives! It reminds me of the theme song for that old show "The Facts of Life"...you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have....THE FACTS OF LIFE!!! lol...but thankfully, with knowledge that HE is there through it all with us and that in the end everything will be fine is the Christian's comfort as we go through the good and the bad. Thanks for an awesome message this morning, LJ! | |
