We are due for a change in our weather as a cold front is moving in bringing cooler weather and much needed rain. Obviously, I am writing from the west coast and not the flooded southern states.
I’ve been noticing the subtle changes, a golden leaf here and there. The crackling sound is starting to appear as I walk around my yard. We are in the beginnings of a change of season, summer is slowly dying, and autumn is awakening from its slumber.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 ESV “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven.”
The Lord speaks much of seasons, signs of seasons ahead, and the symptoms of things to come. We experience weather seasons, but we also share different types of seasons in our lives. We have seasons of friendships and relationships; sure, some of these people are meant to stay and share our lives, but some are meant only for a time. A season!
2 Timothy 4:2 ESV “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.”
Preach the word! What if you don’t know the word? Preach what you know! Preach your experiences! In season and out…preach…in other words share. Reprove: reprimand or censure. Rebuke: sharp disapproval or criticism of someone because of their behavior or actions. Exhort: the actor process of making a strong urging or appeal. With complete patience and teaching!
The Lord will put people in our lives for a season. We are to be examples of the Lord’s teachings and direction. His grace, peace, joy, and kindness, making sure always to speak the truth with love.
Ephesians 4:15 ESV “Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.” We are to grow by his example into examples for others.
Who is in your season today?
You are in mine! Be blessed today and thank you for joining me. 🥰
