Today, it feels like spring is definitely on its way. We have struggled through another season of winter, and I can finally feel that newness in the air…like things are about to turn around. 

It’s like that in life too. We go through these seasons of change that help move us forward in faith. It’s believing that things that are down will come up, that sadness will become joy, and trials will become triumphs. If we didn’t go through all of those seasons there would be no growth. Believe me. I know trials are not pleasant, but they are necessary. God uses them to show us that depending on Him will always lead us to victory.

I have learned to expect the seasons of life. It proves that a new beginning is on the way. And with that new beginning comes a deeper level of faith in the God who never fails.

So, now I listen for His voice. He is always near, and He always has the answer. That means I don’t have to waste time trying to figure things out on my own. I don’t need to know the why of things…I just need to know Who. The Bible says, “Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever. As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people, from this time forth and forevermore (Psalm 125:1-2). This says that if I put my trust fully in God…He will surround me.

I pray that if you are going through a season of change, that you will keep your hand in the hand of the One who knows you better than you know yourself. There is a gift in your trial…one that you may not be able to see, but know that it is there. God is working it all out. Trust Him. Our God is a loving, caring, and faithful Father, and He loves us so much.

Until next time…

Be blessed!
