Seasons24

“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” (Genesis 8:22)

As I was driving this week, I noticed the beautiful colors of the trees and foliage on our mountainsides. It reminded me that, just a few weeks ago, most everything was green. But as I saw the different shades of many colors there now, I thought, “This is the way we are as God’s creation. We are all together, different species of plants, different shades of color but we’re all God’s creation and we live together. Through much of the year, the trees are green but, I thought, maybe the fall season allows them to show their “true colors”. I’ll have to think and pray about that idea some more. Maybe you can get a revelation of this.

However, God has a plan. Personally, I don’t like the winter season much but it’s the way God handles His creation so I’ll continue living the Plan. There is always another season to look forward to. Just as God created seasons for the earth, He has “seasons” for us to go through.

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). All these “seasons” are not joyful, some are very difficult, but God has a Plan. We must endure the difficult seasons knowing that they are for a purpose. An athlete doesn’t get to play on the first team without going through some tough training. “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17).

Whatever season of life you’re in now, be assured that God has a Plan for you. I heard a preacher say once, “We’re either in a trial, coming out of one or going into one.” That’s life…but God has a Plan. And, just as the trees go through the seasons together, may we, as God’s creation, do the same.
