Yes to everything there is a season: God gave me this the other night. Dont rush your change of seasons...... I thought about my life, things, and people around me. The responsibilities had been crashing in on my life harder than breakers hitting the huge rocks before me. I sat at the lake and watched the waves roll in. They splashed, sprayed and flowed out over and over in a pattern, then did it again. And I prayed Lord why must I be stretched so thin. I even whispered I dont think I can handle it much longer. Then I heard the quiet still voice whisper back to me,Peace Be Still. Then I started Thanking God for my season. He said to me the hard place wont be forever, in the meantime rest. Matthew 11:28 says this, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. (Thats a promise and Im standing on his promises) Im learning to seek Gods direction in a quiet place. Most of all Ive learned never to pray to God and ask for a season change in the midst of my storm, anger, disappointment etc., because 9 times out of 10, Im not going to receive what god has for me. But instead Ive learned in the midst of all the confusion, I pray Lord let your will be done in my life. Not my will but your will Lord. Then and only then the things he has for me will be revealed. See when youre in a bad place in your marriage, you pray lord let my season change, he says be still and know Im God and you say I know lord I hear you speaking its time for me to divorce. You are hearing what you want to hear cause your in a bad place, but God honors marriage. Someone says or does something to you at church and the first thing you say is my season is up here. God may have told you to change positions, he meant put yourself in that persons shoes, evaluate how you would handle it and then pray, but instead you stop coming to church. Give it to God. Psalm 55:22 Cast your cares on The Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. When he speaks listen. I dont want to be like Jonah and refuse to listen, he found himself in a mess. And even after he was delivered from the fishs belly he went through more. So I pray I will not be so persistent and demand to do things my way. Through my struggles, Lord help me to yield to your wise counsel as you lead me and provide the rest I so desperately need. Be still..... Dont rush your change of seasons, you might be taken to a place God has not yet prepared you for.
