A Time for Every Season
May
blessings of peace overflow this week as God grants each of you the desires of
your heart? As I reflected on the scriptures during my quiet time this morning,
I was reminded that for each of us God has set an appointed season…..to sow, to
reap, to replenish….and in each season He has called us to serve. I am so
thankful that I have this opportunity to
serve here in my community in Murrells Inlet, SC…the birthplace of so much
history and folklore…it is truly a synapse for the senses (and there's lots of
good food, too!)
Over the
years, my wife , Terri, and I have been so blessed to see the many things that
God has done, is doing and we eagerly
await all that He is going to do. Our lives were changed forever, when our
precious daughter, Alyson, at age five, fought her battle against a rare
childhood cancer and with God's amazing grace, she emerged victorious. Now, at
age 23, she is graduating from college and is ready to spread her wings and fly…yes,
there truly is a time for every season.
In fact, we
have recently been reminded of that very truism as Terri and her sister have
been caring for and assisting their parents in a new life change as they move
from independent living to a senior adult facility…yes, this too is a time for
this new season for my wife and her parents.
Maybe God
has you at the precipices of a new season in your life…whether good or bad, He
is there with you and will be, along each step of the journey. Just remember
the scripture from Philippians 1:6,
"And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it
to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."
I trust that
as the week unfolds you will sense the hand of God at work…going before you,
furrowing the ground so that it is fertile and ready for planting. His word
tells us that for everything there is a season …a time to plant and a time to
pluck up, to reap that which has been planted. This may be your week to plant,
to sow wisely, to water, to fertilize…to reap ,but in all things as in all
seasons, it is the time under heaven that God has ordained and HE WILL BRING IT
TO PASS!!!!!
YOU HAVE HIS GUARANTEE ……In my favorite scripture in Galatians 6:9, His Word empowers us by saying “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, we WILL reap a harvest, if we DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!!”

So hang in
there, this is your season and God is you God….you will not fail for you have
