What Shall We Do This Season?
On this past Tuesday, we began our autumn season. This is always a very special time of the
year when we can enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves, apple cider and doughnuts,
football games, and cooler days. For
those of us who live in the Midwest, we can begin to think about the coming cold
winter snows, heavy overcoats, blustery weather, and the occasional ungraceful
fall upon the ice.
This fall, we can make a choice.
We can enjoy the weather while it lasts and make the best of our autumn
season or we can sadly anticipate colds, runny noses, and high winter heating
bills. Instead, I choose to say, “ I
will rejoice in this day” (Psalm 118:24).
Concerning the seasons of life, we can choose to be sad about the season
of our lives; childhood, adulthood, middle or old age or we can say, “I will
rejoice in this day.”
In the book of Ecclesiastes, God says there is a time and a
season for every activity under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1). He has established it and we simply should
enjoy and rejoice in it. Those who love
the Lord know that in spite of the challenges of our seasons, everything is
working together for our good (Romans 8:28).
This season when people are complaining about the times and the
seasons, remember to enjoy your time and season, knowing that our Father is in
charge and He is in control. We can
relax in Him in all things.
Please comment below and share
with others how you learned to seek to relax in God in spite of whatever is
going on. You can encourage others to do the same.
