In This Season
The season that we have been going through…and I emphasize “going through,” because I believe that God is about to bring us out, is strengthening our inner man. What I mean is that I think we are stronger than we have been in a long time, and it’s not from anything that we have done…it has all been God’s doing. He is teaching us that we can’t continue to depend on our natural ability. Some things are going to just take faith.
The “seasons” in our lives are similar to the earth’s seasons. There is a cycle to everything. Just as spring follows winter, we will have good days, and bad days. The thing is that we need to hold on to the good days as long as possible, because our thoughts tend to lean to the negative. I don’t know why, but we seem to remember the thing that hurt us way faster than we do the thing that blessed us.
It can sometimes feel like being in a boxing match. Although I have never been in an actual boxing match, I have seen one, and I imagine that it must feel a lot like this. Some days we are so strong that we feel like we could take on the world, and the next day it’s like the weight of the world are on our shoulders. But don’t get tired. Don’t get discouraged. We have an Advocate, and His name is Jesus. In John 10:10 it says, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” But, I love what it says next, “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” That statement right there cancels everything said before it.
If we stay connected to the source of our strength, and keep our focus on Him…nothing will be able to stop us.
Until next time…
Be blessed
