YOU WILL SURVIVE IN THIS SEASON - We have truly been experiencing a season of death, break downs, weeping, mourning, refraining from embracing, losing things, rending, hating and war. God is merciful and will not allow his people to live in continual suffering. We have been experiencing many "downs" in the earth, but God says get ready to experience the "ups." Things will get better for those who trust God. We will flow in and out of the fall, summer, winter, and spring seasons simultaneously. Things will continue "falling away" from our lives, as the leaves in the fall, but other areas of our lives will begin to grow as in the summer. Be encouraged - God is about to bring balance to your season - "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." - Although many changes are happening in the world today, we can be encouraged to know that God does not change. The writer in Ecclesiastes prophetically speaks of what we are experiencing in the world today. It explains the different seasons for which we are experiencing. It seems, as of now, we have truly been experiencing a season of death, break downs, weeping, mourning, refraining from embracing, losing things, rending, hating and war. God is to bring balance to our season. God is God and will not allow his people to live in continual suffering. Ecclesiastes explains how there is an ebbing and flowing with each season where there will be ups and downs.

"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." - Ecclesiastes 3:1


Although many changes are happening in the world today, we can be encouraged to know that God does not change. 
In my time of prayer, God wanted me to encourage you today from Ecclesiastes 3:1-10.
Verse one says, "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
The writer in Ecclesiastes prophetically speaks of what we are experiencing in the world today. 
It explains the different seasons for which we are experiencing.
It seems, as of now, we have truly been experiencing a season of death, break downs, weeping, mourning, refraining from embracing, losing things, rending, hating and war. 
This year has been challenging and straining for us all.
However, the Lord encouraged me to know that we are on the verge of a turn-around. 
God is getting ready to bring balance to our season. 
God is a merciful God and will not allow his people to live in continual suffering. 
Ecclesiastes explains how there is an ebbing and flowing with each season where there will be ups and downs.
As of recently, we have been experiencing many "downs" in the earth, but God says get ready to experience the "ups."
Contrary to what many believe, things will get better for those who trust God. 
God is getting ready to expand and overtake you in the next coming months regardless of what the world is experiencing.
We are in a conjoining of seasons spiritually. 
We will flow in and out of the fall, summer, winter, and spring seasons simultaneously.
Things will continue "falling away" from our lives, as the leaves in the fall, but other areas of our lives will begin to grow as in the summer. 
Although we have been in a winter season of "hibernating" because of the COVID-19, we will also begin to experience the rejuvenation and renewal as in the Spring.
Be encouraged, God is about to bring balance to your season! 
You are about to experience the times of re-birthing, building up, laughter, dancing, embracing, love, and peace!
Hold on to Him and trust him by faith!

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS - Thomas Chisolm - Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see. All I have needed Thy hand hath provided; Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me! Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father; There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Thomas Chisolm

 



    



lyrics

Refrain:
Great is Thy faithfulness! 
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
Refrain
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
.
Refrain
.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Refrain
I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever: with my mouth will I make known Thy faithfulness to all generations.” (Psalm 89:1) 

"Great is Thy Faithfulness"

The Song and the Story

Composer Thomas Chisolm Writes Great is Thy Faithfulness

Thomas Obadiah Chisolm (1866-1960) had a difficult adult life. His health was so fragile that there were periods of time when he was confined to bed, unable to work. Between bouts of illness he would have to push himself to put in extra hours at various jobs in order to make ends meet.
After coming to Christ at age 27, Thomas found great comfort in the Scriptures, and in the fact that God was faithful to be his strength in time of illness and provide his needs. Lamentations 3:22-23 was one of his favorite scriptures: “It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness.”
While away from home on a missions trip, Thomas often wrote to one of his good friends, William Runyan, a relatively unknown musician. Several poems were exchanged in these letters. Runyan found one of Williams' poems so moving that he decided to compose a musical score to accompany the lyrics. Great is Thy Faithfulness was published in 1923.
For several years ,the hymn got very little recognition, until it was discovered by a Moody Bible Institute professor who loved it so much and requested it sung so often at chapel services, that the song became the unofficial theme song of the college.
It was not until 1945 when George Beverly Shea began to sing Great is Thy Faithfulness at the Billy Graham evangelistic crusades, that the hymn was heard around the world. 
Thomas Chisolm died in 1960 at age 94. During his lifetime, he wrote more than 1,200 poems and hymns including O To Be Like Thee and Living for Jesus
