There’s A Reason For The Season That You’re In Right Now
Philippians4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
sons we wish would never come our way and there are those we wish could stay forever and a day. As long as we “keep on living” we’re bound to get our share of an array of seasons. Have you ever noticed that with these seasons, comes certain people? These individuals play a significant role in our seasons. A certain person or persons may appear during our seasonal periods with a mission to teach us, encourage us, challenge us, guide us, hurt or anger us, enlighten us, grow us, support us, mentor us, strengthen us, cheer us up, or simply (and especially) to love us. Like our seasons, these folks may come/remain in our lives for a short period of time, a few years or they may stay nearly a lifetime. Other individuals only last as long as the season yet they have a specific reason for being connected to our seasons. I think God assigns particular people to be in our lives for both an appointed reason and an appointed season…as if to be on some covert mission. They show up for an unknown period of time, meet a need or fill a void, and as soon as our season ends their work is done and they are gone. Look around you. Who recently came into your life or who left not too long ago? Could it be that reasons and seasons go hand in hand? If that is the case, then there’s a good reason for the season that you’re in right now. Rather than becoming anxious about the dreaded seasons of life that bring about sorrow, pain or uncertainty, why not go through those seasons with an outlook of great expectation, looking for the blessings that come with each new season. There is a reason for the seasons we experience and the Bible says that for every season there is a purpose. It’s so encouraging to know that seasons don’t come to stay. Every season you have ever experienced, came to past but don’t miss out on the gift attached to each season. It’s intermingled in with the purpose. Be it the fall, spring, summer or the winter of the seasons in your life, just know that God is well aware of every season we face and is more than capable of seeing us through them all. In the book of Lamentations we are reminded that, “Great is God’s faithfulness”. He grants us new mercies each morning of our seasons. If we are believers, everything we have need of He promises to provide for us regardless of our seasons. Therefore, we can count it all joy when these seasons greet us. What will be your “seasons’ greetings”? Whatever season you are in right now it is my prayer that God will “reign/rain” over it. God has a divine purpose and
