Messages On Seasons

Bringing God’s goodness to our remembrance helps us understand that a harsh or dry season
doesn’t change a good God, but rather that a good God is bringing us through every season. As we
continue to give thanks and to praise our Lord, we are able to keep our spiritual eyes fixed on Him,
not on the trials we may be experiencing. In this way we are setting our minds on “things
above” (Colossians 3:2) and on things unchanging and eternal, not on temporary things that will
eventually pass away (2 Corinthians 4:18).
Remembering God’s goodness helps us remember that a good God—our heavenly Father—is
working in us a glorious work which far exceeds whatever afflictions we may be going through in a
particular season (2 Corinthians 4:17). Praising God in every season is God’s will for each of us
because He is good—no matter how bad things may seem.
Jesus upholds all things by the word of His power (Hebrews 1:3). He is well able to hold our lives
together through every necessary season. We don’t worship Him because we’re always reaping or
things are always good around us; we worship Him because He is always good, and His love for us
sees us through every season.

“Jesus upholds all things by the word of
His power” Hebrews 1:3
God has assured us that we will reap if we do not lose heart. He holds the heart of each of us in
His hands, and we are sowing seeds of thanksgiving and gratitude when we worship Him. He has
now become the Lord of our harvest, and we can be sure that we will reap good things when our
“harvest time” season comes.
