Life is in seasons and men are in sizes. God ordained that life happens in seasons, not one season permanent but changing according to the purpose of God. You know God is a wise God and His wisdom no one can contest. That is why you do not fight seasons, you understand seasons and align yourself to enjoy the best of it.
Everything in life and about life comes in seasons. Even the mundane things preach this. When cooking your dinner, there is a season you are waiting on the food to be ready and then seasons change and the food is waiting on you to be eaten. It will be the shame of the food to be cooked, ready, served and yet has no one to eat it or enjoy its taste. So is life.
Whether you are single now or married. A single parent or an expectant mother. Divorced or remarried. In a relationship or considering breaking the relationship. In courtship, planning to get married or otherwise... We are all in a season. God is a God that is able to change seasons, he turns things around because He is God. While we cannot change or dictate season, He expects us to maximize whichever season we find ourselves in. He promised to restore the days the cankerworm has eaten but He expect us to redeem our times. God will always ask us to do the part He knows we will be able to handle.
Wisdom in life is recognizing your season and flowing with it. One thing about season is that, when you are in the season of something that thing becomes easier and cheaper to get. Watermelons are more now because we are in its season. Outside its season it becomes scarce and expensive.
Young single lady, now that you are single, it's a season. Do what is right in this season and you will not regret the season by the time you move to the next season. Remember there is no one season forever, seasons change. The chased will some day begin to chase.
As a married man or woman, your marriage comes in season. Once I and my hubby were always together so much we were called five and six, but these days things are changing. We are both getting busier by the day.
The present pressure, whether in finances or otherwise will soon give way. But what matters most will be how you handled the unpleasant season. If your hubby is broke now, it's a season. When that season changes and he becomes wealthy, the question is, will he bless you for being there for him when times were hard?
Here are a few points to note about seasons
1. No season is better than another, all seasons are unique and come with different purposes according toGods ordination.
2. Only God has the ability to change season. We can pray, but He alone does the changing.
3. God intends that each season be enjoyed and maximized by man.
4. Every season comes with its benefits. Your responsibility is to seek what season you are in and maximize it.
5. Each season brings with it its peculiar grace which makes those things easier and cheaper to get.
6. When you waste or mismanage a season, regret becomes the order of the day.
7. You need wisdom to understand what season you are in. Because atimes season could be as much personal as it is collective.
8. Seasons come in cycles. You miss a season, you will have to wait for another season. Now that cycle could be 5 years, 1 year etc
9. You maximize your season e.g being an adult single by focussing on the good of that season for every season as something good in it, no matter how insignificant
10. Glorify God in your season. Focuss on him. He is the author of seasons no matter how harsh the season may be. God is as much the God of the winter as He is God of the spring time and summer.
God bless you, enjoy and maximize your season.
