FLOURISH IN EVERY SEASON by Brenda Pace Transitions into new seasons of life are inevitable . The days and years pass — we age , we move ( called a Permanent Change of Station ( PCS ) in the military world ), we change jobs , we launch children , we walk through sorrow , and we celebrate . The question of the day is , how do we flourish in every season ? If I read the Oxford Dictionary , I know I ’ m flourishing if I “ grow or develop in a vigorous way , especially as the result of a particularly congenial environment .” When Uncle Sam is involved in the equation , “ congenial environment ” doesn ’ t always apply to our experience in the military .
This is the beauty of our always-with-us God . His definition of flourish is not the same as Oxford ’ s . In God ’ s economy , flourishing is not all about our comfort , ease , or success . Despite our circumstances , we can flourish .
Consider these keys to spiritual flourishing found in Psalm 52:8-9 :
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God . I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever . I will thank you forever , because you have done it . I will wait for your name , for it is good , In the presence of the godly .
How to Flourish in Every Season : 1 . Trust in God ’ s steadfast and loyal love — every day in every season .
2 . Thank God for what he has done for me in the past , knowing he will be faithful in the present and the future .
3 . Wait on him to fulfil his purpose in each season of life .
