A Time and Season

Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest.

In a few more days it will be winter. What do you think about when winter comes? Do you think about the beautiful snow that falls? Do you think about spending time with family during Christmas? Do you think about wearing three layers of clothes because it's too cold outside? Whatever it is, there is a certain time and season for everything. You wouldn't wear shorts outside when it is below freezing would you?

God made everything to change at certain times of the year. Change is always going to happen to us. The question we have to ask ourselves is, are we ready for change when it happens in our lives? Change is inevitable. You know that the seasons will change every three months. You know that the sun will rise and fall every day. So why do some people get mad when change happens? It's constantly all around us. We have to learn to adapt to change in our lives.

This scripture is a great reminder that we constantly have to be changing. Life brings us all kinds of challenges. It also brings us great triumphs. We will experience all kinds of things on earth. Just remember that God is in control of everything around us. He created everything for our enjoyment. The Bible says to take delight in the fruit of your labor. So keep preparing your fields and when the rain comes you will know what to do, even if it doesn't go the way you thought it would.
