Scripture for today

Ecclesiastes 3:1 AMP

TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven:

There is a season for everything. In life we have the good and the bad times. We have the season where we happy times and seasons when we have sad times. The funny thing about seasons is that no particular season lasts forever. Every experience in life has a time allotted for it so our seasons are in constant motion. See every season as a blessing, have a positive attitude through it.

Let's look at this illustration: 

There was a man who had four sons.

He wanted his sons to learn not to Judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away.

The first son went in the Winter, the second in the Spring, the third in Summer and the fourth son in the Fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent and twisted. The second son said, no it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful; it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but only one season in the tree’s life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy and love that come from that life can only be measured at the end, when all seasons are up.

If you give up when it’s Winter, you will miss the promise of your Spring, the beauty of your Summer and the fulfillment of your Fall.

Don't judge yourself based on a season you have found yourself. Every season prepares you for the next season don't rush out of it. Prepare yourself to embrace the next season by getting the best out of your present season.

Prayer: Father, I know the plans you have for me. Help me get the best out of every season of my life.
