Messages On Seasons
IN EVERY SEASON

In our walk with God, we go through many seasons—some pleasant and some difficult. While we
may not enjoy every season, as God’s children we know that our loving Father is with us and “we
know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called
according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).

!

Whenever we find ourselves in a season of trials, we can be encouraged that we are growing.
James 1:2-4 says, “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the
testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be
perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” Every season has a purpose, and we need to trust God and
be thankful that He will sustain us.

!

The wonderful thing about a season of trials is that when that season has come to an end, we will
not only have grown in character but will also have a testimony God can use through us to comfort
and encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:4 says He “comforts us in all our
tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which
we ourselves are comforted by God.” As we change seasons, God will use the season He brought us
through to help someone else.

!

We must always remember that regardless of the season we may find ourselves in at this moment
in time, we have a loving Father who is taking us from glory to glory.  “But we all, with unveiled face,
beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory
to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18). Every season has its purpose, so we
should be encouraged that He is faithful and He will use every season in our lives to complete His
work in us.
