The Seasons of Life

It’s very interesting to see how the seasons of the year (winter, spring, summer and fall) parallel with the seasons of my life. I remember one summer during a difficult season of my life, praying desperately for God’s intervention. There were intense circumstances surrounding me, driving me to the throne of God. I spent more time alone with God that summer than any other time in my life. He whispered to my heart, assuring me that He would answer the cries of my heart in His time.
The heat and humidity of summer were smoldering and oppressive just like the circumstances in my life. The Lord drew me close to His heart and showed me His love in a powerful way (Song of Solomon 1:4). The very day that my circumstances began to change, the air changed from the warm, oppressive humidity to the cool, crisp fall air. It was God’s symbol to show me that He had me in the palm of His hand (Isaiah 49:16).
Today, I was sitting outside watching the cherry blossom petals fall, breathing in the sweet smells of spring. The Lord spoke to my heart saying: Spring is here, the dead of winter has come to an end. As the flowers are blossoming and the trees are growing new leaves, He is breathing new life into my soul. I thanked Him for His love, His grace, and for never leaving me through all the seasons of life.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
1 - “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven”:
2 - “A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,”
3 – “A time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build,”
4 – “A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance,”
5 – “A time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain,”
6 – “A time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away,”
7 – “A time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,”
8 – “A time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a
time for peace.”
Lord, help me to live contentedly in the season you have me
in. Help me not to look back and not to look ahead – to live fully in the
present. Amen.
