Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall. These are the season we look forward too. Some people enjoy spring because it ushers in the season of growth,change,and newness of life. Others enjoy summer they love to get out of the house, enjoy all that summer has to offer. Boating, biking, and barbeque's. What about fall people enjoy this season for the beautiful colors as the leaves change, nature walks, and the wonderful smells of pumpkin and apple. Or maybe you like winter. You like to snow mobile, ski, and maybe ice fish!
Each of us love different seasons, but what about season's of life? There are season's of test and trial, season's of love, joy, and peace. The season of victory and defeat. God has different season's for us, to prepare us, to help us operate here on earth. To ultimately bring him glory in what we do. So... are you in season?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
" 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."
There is a season for every area of our life. Now there are some important things in our season's that we must know. First, we must identify the season that we are in. If you were a baseball fan, you wouldn't show up to a game in the middle of December, When you know that football season is in full swing. You have to know what season you are in. So ask the Lord and he will show you.
Psalms 16:7-8
"I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken."Season of Preparation:
There are not a lot of farmers out there that will tell you, you can plant any kind of crop in any kind of dirt. If there's a lot of rocks, debris, or harmful chemicals in your dirt it may not be ready for planting. So like the farmer ready's his dirt, We must ready our hearts to receive the help from God.
1 Samuel 7:3
Then Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you return to the LORD with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtoreths[a] from among you, and prepare your hearts for the LORD, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.”
Season of Planting:
Now if we are farmers and we are in planting season. We might be ready to plant corn, wheat, or beans. But since we believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, Jesus tells us exactly what we need to plant in Mark 4:14 it says "The sower sows the word." The word of God is the only thing that can bring change in our hearts. Mark 4:20 says "But these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred." The word of god will always bring crop!
Season of Watering:
Every farmer likes a good rain, because all his crops need it for growth and performance. So do we need the rain of the holy spirit, and the best part is. He (holy spirit) reigns inside of us. John 7:37-39 says
"On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing[a] in Him would receive; for the Holy[b] Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified."
Bless God now Jesus has been glorified and the holy spirit has been given to us. To rule and reign forever, A never ending supply of living water to keep us refreshed.
Due Season:
When a crop is ready to be harvested, its ready for people to take pleasure in it. When God brings our due season it's not just for ourselves but for others to partake. This is why it is so important for us not to give up or lose hope. Because its not just are life on the line, but others as well. Galatians 6:9-10 says
"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith." Your due season comes to provide fruit for others to enjoy or be blessed.
God loves you and so do I
