There's
something very comforting about the seasons of life. They remind us that the
difficult seasons will eventually end, and we should enjoy the good seasons
when they're here. Understanding the times and seasons helps you in life. We
are truly in a time of new joy, no matter what it may look like right now. That
may be hard to believe when you look around at what is going on in the world
today - the trouble we're experiencing is not here to stay. No matter what it
looks like right now, jump into the season of joy and embrace it for yourself

"As long as the
earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and
night will never cease." - Genesis 8:22 NIV
That may be hard to believe when you look
around at what is going on in the world today.
But the trouble we're experiencing is not
here to stay.
No matter what it looks like right now, I
encourage you to jump into the season of joy that's here now and embrace it for
yourself.
You know, I've spent many years learning how
to understand the times and seasons of Heaven.
I think that studying the natural seasons the
Earth moves through every year is a good place to start.
Understanding Your Season
Think about it. I said in January that the
year 2020 would be a year of vision.
I'm saying now that we're in a season of joy.
But many people are looking around wondering where any of this is!
Try not to mistake today's weather for the
season we're in right now. Can you hear what I'm saying?
Sometimes it snows in the spring, right?
Sometimes storms come, but they eventually move away.
But just because it's snowing in the spring
doesn't mean it's not spring!
Just because it's storming today doesn't mean
there won't be clear weather tomorrow.
“See! The winter is
past; the rains are over and gone.” - Song of Solomon 2:11 NIV
Look past the distractions so you can
understand the season.
4 Seasons of Life
Let's take a look at the life seasons we all
move through. I'm going to use the natural seasons as a key to help you
understand.
First, let me walk you through how to use the
natural to understand the spiritual. What do you think of when you think of
spring?
Warmer weather?
Birds singing?
Now, with that in mind, begin to think of a
spiritual interpretation of Spring. I'll help.
Spring - A spring
life-season is a time of new growth. Change has happened recently, and things
are being renewed. It's a time of refreshment!
Summer - A time of fun and
blessing. It's like a mountaintop experience. We don't usually grow during
these times, and we cannot live there. But summer times keep us going. It's
something we look forward to.
Autumn - Spiritually and
naturally, this is a transition time when things begin to dry up and die. Old
habits and behaviors start fading away. It starts out looking pretty but
quickly changes. You are moving from one major season to another.
Winter - During the winter
season, everything is dormant, and times are difficult. It is not easy to hear
God or know the direction to go. This season is a test to strengthen your
faith. This may also be known as a wilderness time.
Understanding the
Times and Seasons Helps You in Life
They remind us that
the difficult seasons will eventually end, and we should enjoy the good seasons
when they're here.
"As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease." - Genesis 8:22 NIV
I hope this has been
encouraging to you!
We are truly in a
time of new joy, no matter what it may look like right now.

Blessings.
