Seasons
I think most of the country is now beginning to see signs of spring and I, for one, am really enjoying the warmth and sunshine. Even the evening rains have been soothing as I listen to the drops against my window. Spring is definitely my favorite season as I don’t think there’s anything about it that I don’t like. Well, except maybe the bugs that come out of hibernation but I won’t complain.
Although I would keep this kind of weather forever, I have learned that each season works together for the good of the earth. God created each season unique and each state and country unique to be able to tolerate different climates and grow different foods. It’s really amazing when you think of it.
So too are the seasons of life. If life were all one season and one weather pattern, we would not grow as we need to. We would easily become stagnant and unfruitful. However, because of the rain and the snow and the sun in our lives, we continue to become the vessels that God can use. We are not useless weak vats but we are becoming strong vessels that He can keep filling so that we have something to give to others.
I confess I do not always feel that strong but I possess a lot of strength that I would not have if not for the storms of life that God has allowed me to face and He’s always given me strength to stand. The warrior may be a child but this child is a child of the King, and I trust my Father to give me the weather that I need in my life. As a flower cannot grow without rain and sun, neither can I but the good thing is, when it seems like I’ll never see the sun again, I know that I will. My Father promised me that, and He always keeps His Word.
