All Seasons

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: Ecclesiastes 3:1 NIV

Time is something that we are bound by. Daily work shifts. Classes. Store hours. Years of Life. Minutes or seconds in life and death situations. We are physically bound by time as long as we occupy this planet.

We as Christians are also aware of God's timing. Sometimes he moves when we don't expect; sometimes He moves in what we consider too slow. But this verse sums up God's time. There is a specific time that he wants you in a specific place and no amount of begging, pleading or praying from you will make him change that. What we must do is ask for God's guidance and to discern what that timetable is. Sometimes we may end up in limbo, but God has a purpose for that too so don't waste any opportunity he gives you.

I've learned to look at everything as a learning opportunity, even the rough patches. Those teach us the most I think, valuable lessons we can use or share with others.

So in everything there is a season. In all seasons give thanks. In all seasons learn.
