Embrace Your Season - in God’s kingdom, every season is not harvest. Every season is not springtime, with beautiful flowers, gorgeous sunshine and cool breezes. There are plowing seasons, planting seasons and watering seasons. Sure, we would love for every season to be a time of increase, but without the other seasons, we wouldn’t be prepared for promotion. God has given you not only the grace to endure this season but to enjoy the season. You will come out of winter and into your springtime. Choose to rejoice today. When you are content, you see each day as a gift, appreciate the people in your lives, and are grateful for what God has given you

"For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven." - Ecclesiastes 3:1, NLT

God has ordained seasons and cycles in our lives.

Sometimes, when our dreams aren’t coming to pass on our timetable, we can be tempted to get frustrated.

But we have to be careful not to allow our attitude to keep us from moving forward. 

Understand that in God’s kingdom, every season is not harvest. 

Every season is not springtime, with beautiful flowers, gorgeous sunshine and cool breezes. 

There are plowing seasons, planting seasons and watering seasons. 

Sure, we would love for every season to be a time of increase, but without the other seasons, we wouldn’t be prepared for promotion. 

You have to choose to rejoice today. 

God has given you not only the grace to endure this season but to enjoy the season. 

When you are content, you see each day as a gift, appreciate the people in your lives, and are grateful for what God has given you. 

That is not only developing your character, but you’re passing the test. 

You will come out of winter and into your springtime.

PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father in heaven, thank You for Your faithfulness in all seasons of my life. 

I trust that my time is coming, and I choose to remain faithful. 

I submit my ways to You today and trust that You have the best plan for my life.

I love You and praise Your Name today. 

In Jesus’ Name.

Amen.

Redeeming the Time - time is a very valuable asset in danger of being lost forever unless it is rescued or redeemed. Time is just about the most valuable asset we have. Those who are wise redeem the time, whereas those who are fools waste or misuse it. Those who redeem the time are walking diligently - they are walking in wisdom. The time God gives us should be used both carefully and diligently - wasted time is gone forever

God and Time - when we say things like "God is timeless" or "God has no beginning or end," we are trying to explain God in terms of a dimension by which He is not constrained. God created time. He experiences every moment of time all at once. God's timelessness is part of His perfection. He has neither our need for time nor our time-related limitations, which is just another example of why we can trust Him with our short temporal lives

It’s time to watch - we’re all commanded to watch and pray and to do it more and more as we see the end of the age drawing near. Read what Jesus said about the last days and find He actually talked as much about watching as He did about praying. Much of our prayer time should be spent watching in the spirit. Watching in the spirit is being sensitive to the stirrings and quickenings in your heart. It is paying attention to promptings of the Holy Spirit on the inside of you. The Day of the Lord is rapidly approaching
