Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day for you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.
Understanding Seasons
If we understand that there are things you used to do at 4 years old that you can’t do at 24 years old, why do we frustrate ourselves with our present situations?
When you were 4 years old, you never asked, “When will I turn 5?” You simply knew that time would pass and that season would come. And once it came, you would never be 4 again.
In the same way, when we understand seasons, we learn to appreciate each one.
We may not like certain seasons—like winter—but we can still be grateful for them. Even the seasons we dislike have purpose. Just because something feels uncomfortable or even painful does not mean God must explain Himself.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 (CEV):
Everything on earth has its own time and its own season.
The Order of God
Imagine if life had no order—if things just happened randomly. We would plant today and uproot tomorrow. People are dying more than they are being healed; there is more weeping than laughter, and there is more building up than breaking down.
The chaos we see now would be nothing compared to a world without time and seasons.
Time and seasons bring order. And we must remember: God is not a God of chaos.
One important truth to hold onto is this:
Through every situation I go through, I am in order.
When we don’t understand the order of seasons, we begin to expect harvest during a time of sowing. That confusion often leads us to create chaos in our own lives—simply because we refuse to let time and seasons take their course.
Gratitude Friday Reflection
Today is what we call “Gratitude Friday.” For many, Friday marks the end of the work week—a perfect moment to pause, reflect, and thank God.
Take time today to speak to Him. Thank Him for the week—for both the good and the challenging moments.
Learn to thank God for your job. Even if you don’t like it, remember—it is for a season.
Okay, I am not a fan of winter, but I would like to say thank God for the rainy season that we are approaching.
Takeaway
Every season has a purpose, even the uncomfortable ones. Instead of resisting where you are, trust that God is working through it—and be grateful while you grow through it.
Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!
Through every situation I go through, I’m in order. Amen 🙏
