Daniel 2:21 (LSB) 21 And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding.
During the last 15 years of our lives, we have seen a slew of changes. Some were expected. Most were not.
Some were major. Others were subtle and not as significant.
Still yet, some were impactful in ways that could be deemed adverse or negative in nature. Some could be viewed as advantageous.
Some of these events brought about changes in our lives that caused hardship of varying levels.
These ranged from gut-wrenching to only slightly noticeable.
Some brought financial devastation. Others brought seasons of plenty.
But each one has taught us much. And we’d like to share that with you, with the possibility and hope that you might also learn from what we have walked through.
We have learned that no matter what we were facing, God was always there with us. He was the one constant that never failed.
And one of the most important lessons was to learn to let go of fading seasons; not to try to hold on to what was passing, instead of embracing that which was forthcoming.
Holding on to things that are passing only brings more hardship, and more emotional trauma.
And sometimes the damage wrought by trying desperately to cling to that which was passing was enormous and difficult to overcome.
So, with all that we have learned from our own changing seasons, we say to you today, let go of the old season.
That foot that is trying so hard to stay anchored in the old? Move it!
Pick it up and step forward into what God is ushering in.
Loosen the grip on the past. What has been will not be again. It was meant for a time… a fleeting season that we were meant to learn from.
Now we must look ahead. Walk or run with purpose toward what God is birthing and unfolding.
And trust Him with every fiber of your being, that He will show you what to do, how to do it, and the intensity with which to carry it out.
Obey Him with all your heart.
And watch what God does 🙏
