Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) 1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven…
I love this time of year. Here in the northern part of the USA everything starts to show its beauty again. Yes, what seemed to be so dead and lifeless is now beginning to pop out and show signs of life!
Isn’t that the way it feels and looks when we are going through some seasons in our lives? Ugly, hopeless and dead, like nothing at all is happening. Everything is still; no life or forward motion going on.
It may seem like that on the surface, just like it does with the trees, the grass, the plants and the shrubs, etc. They look like they are so far gone. Nothing is going on. But, on the inside they are really just doing their thing to get ready for the next season to come. And, oh the beauty they will bring forth.
It starts with the little tiny buds and then it just flourishes from there. It’s simply gorgeous, the changes that come!
It’s just like what God is doing in our hearts and our lives during the seasons that feel so dry, dull and dead. Just wait to see the beauty that God has in store for us!
The key is to wait for the season and be sure we don’t pop out before our time or we could damage that very beautiful thing that God is preparing for us.
Be careful how we look at things and claim them to be dead. They may be more alive than we could ever know!
