“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 NIV).
Have you ever found yourself asking, “What is going on in this season?” Not understanding where you are or even how you got there? Our God given life purpose is fulfilled through phases or “seasons” that help us to get to THAT particular place. When we feel bombarded, confused, distraught, hopeless, overlooked, overwhelmed, tired and weary, we are usually in the RIGHT season to be used by God!
The Bible gives so many scenarios of Jesus passing by or going through a certain place to in order to fulfill purpose. Jesus never went to the wrong person. He never went at the wrong time. He always knew what to do and when to do it. Our job is to follow His lead so that we may receive in order to lead effectively and efficiently. Seasons are indicators that dictate to us the direction to our destiny. How we handle the input in each season will determine our ultimate outcome!
Therefore, Jehovah Himself will give YOU men a sign: “Look! The maiden herself will actually become pregnant, and she is giving birth to a son, and she will certainly call His name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14). Jesus was born in the right season…When Jesus was born; it was indeed the “fullness of time”. (Galatians 4:4-5). It is no different with you and me. We cannot do anything leading to our God given purpose until it is the proper time. God promised us seasons to indicate “the order of nature”.
But did you know that every person goes through four seasons as well? Did you know that every church goes through four seasons? Did you know that your marriage goes through seasons? Seasons affect all of us and everything we do.
King Solomon was considered a very wise man and what made him so wise was the fact that he understood nothing remains the same. And so it is the same for us, even as women; we must understand the season we are in and proceed accordingly. Seasons dictate our actions and our moods for we relate much better with everyone when the season or seasoning is right. King Solomon teaches us in this passage of scripture that there is a time for every season, seasons change and we must adapt to each one. Knowing what is going on in each and responding the correct way will actually help us to get to the next one a lot easier.
Although sometimes we may be in a season of crying, it will at some point change to laughter. At some point we are celebrating life and then later, we are mourning deaths. There’s a season to plant and then later receive what was planted. Once we understand that nothing remains the same, we can grow or rather; “Bloom where we are planted!” Seasons come and seasons go so for that alone, there is no reason to despise where you are today. Just remember to embrace the season you are in and watch God cultivate you right where you are. Everything that is needed at that appropriate time will be given as the earth produces what’s necessary.
Do we not know that we are God’s human creation and all we have to do is wait for the seasons to change? Not only will all of the basic necessities be there when we arrive, but our own Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will meet us there as well. Since God is always there, all we have to do is embrace the space we occupy. Don’t get too comfortable where you are, this season will change!
