Just as a farmer has certain specific duties and responsibilities during each season, so do we. There will be seasons for him to sow, seasons to tend and nurture, seasons to reap and harvest, and a season to rest the ground ready for new growth. As we have seen this week, it is exactly the same with our spiritual seasons. If we fail to recognize and act upon the duties we have in each season, we will not be fulfilling all that God has planned in store for us.
A change in season is always difficult as we adapt to the new challenges and the demands that season places upon us. There will be times when we feel vulnerable or out of our depth, but God has placed us in that season for a reason. He has a plan and a purpose for us there, He has work for us to be doing. We must always remember as we face these challenges and the uncertainty of what that season bears, that the seasons come and go but our God is a God who remains unchanged and unchanging. He is the constant in the change of seasons.
"LORD, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God" Psalm 90:1-2 [NIV]
As you journey through your spiritual seasons keep focused on the constant and unchanging God who has placed you there for a reason, in His perfect timing, and with a purpose to fulfill. There are precious crops to prepare for, nurture, grow and then harvest. Each of us, in each of our differing seasons, has a vital role to play in this. Whatever season you are in, enjoy and embrace it, because it will change. But also be ready to accept the season that you are about to enter.
