Seasons of life

According to the calendar, we are in Autumn/Fall. However, here in the south, it is still very much summer. The weather forecast is for 97 degrees today and tomorrow, and 98 degrees on Thursday. I would say that that probably doesn't sound very fallish, does it.

With that being said, though, I know that winter is coming. It may be a really mild winter, much like the one we experienced last year. Or, it may be a winter such as we experienced a couple of years ago, in which we received five (5) appreciable snowfalls. That is really unexpected in the south. The point is that there is no need to worry about the changing of the seasons, GOD has already established all of that.

Today's word is Acts 1:7, ESV, which reads, "...It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority."

JESUS was telling his disciples, and us, that it is not for us to worry about the whens. It may seem like things are never going to change, never going to improve, never going to work itself out, BUT, JESUS reminds us that, just as seasons change throughout the year, without our help, GOD has everything else in order and things will work out the way they should on His schedule.

Yeah, I am ready for the heat to ease a little, especially for our footballers and cheerleaders, and I know that it will. We are all probably going through some seasons in our lives that we would like to change as well. Just as we can have faith that our seasons of the year will change, we can also be sure that GOD will change our seasons of life.

Be Blessed,
