MY FRIENDS, ARE WE HAPPY WITH THE SEASON OF OUR LIFE TODAY?
“We have to understand it will always be darkest just before dawn which at times it seems like it is the Hardest Season of our life.” But we must endure through our faith as we make God the center of our life because “every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” James 1:17 (NKJV)
My friends, we are closer to victory than we have ever been before.” And closer to a child of God means entering those pearly gates into that place “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man [or woman] The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” 1 Cor. 2:9 (NKJV) My friends, its personal today because we all have separate seasons of our life that will change with each situation and circumstances that arises.
And at times, the change from season to season is a very slow process because that insurmountable mountain seems to only get steeper. But Paul tells us to be “stedfast [and]
unmoveable [in our season], always abounding in the work of the Lord” 1 Corinthians 15:58 (KJV) Yes my friends, we must serve God continually. And at night we may “cry more then we pray” but our God is still our Savior who gave it all for our salvation. So thank God for where we are on this Journey and this season we are at today.
In addition, every heartaches and pain of our life, like the seasons, is only temporary, like this temporary home we call earth. But we must be strong until we hear “well done, thou good and faithful servant because those two words, “well done” are the only words that matters on this journey to the promise land along with Christ approval of the way we have served him on this short probationary period He has given His Chosen while on this earth.
So our daily prayer should be Lord thank you for my Season because in the depths of my despair your promises tell me to be strong and courageous [in my season and out of my season and] not to fear or be in dread of [anything, for it is the Lord my God who goes with me every step of the way because I know with full assurance that] He will [never] leave [me] or forsake [me].” Deut. 31:6 (ESV)
And so my friends, if our desire is for life eternal in God’s kingdom we must allow God to set limits and established his will in our lives. Yes it is true, we would prefer the perfect season throughout our life, but that would not prepare His children for those “great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened.” Matt. 24:21-22 (NKJV)
So as we move closer to Christ second coming, Paul tells us in 2 Timothy 4:2 (ESV) to “be ready in season and out of season;” So friends, as of today, I don’t know how God does it. Can’t explain the where why or how I manage to get through it all day after day, but what I do know is the season that I am in today and I pray you feel the same, it is only that part of our life which will prepare you and I for the next level of our life, which is Life eternal in God’s pure and holy kingdom.
