Ecclesiastes Season

My husband and I recently spent some time at a local park, taking in the wonderful fall colors. I love autumn. Who can deny the dramatic, vivid explosion of colors?

I got me to thinking about the changing of seasons. It's not just about winter, spring, summer and autumn; it's about the phases of our lives. Nothing stays the same. Things change; it's a law of life. "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven." Ecclesiastes 3:1 Which season are you and I in now? which season have we closed and which season awaits?

Bishop T. D. Jakes once preached a message whick spoke of embracing the beauty of the season you're in. There's beauty to each and every phase of life we experience. That doesn't mean loss, pain and difficulty won't often occur, even simultaneously with the beauty. But there IS a beauty; there IS a deeper meaning. So, which season are you in? Are you embracing it? Fighting it? Struggling with it? And where is God, in realtion to your season? Have you invited Him in? Let this autumn be a reminder that there is, indeed, true beauty and meaning to whop you are and to each individaul season of your life! Copyright © 2012 by Sheryle Cruse
