Seasons - Daily Inspiration

It's been a lot colder today than it has been for the last month. Spring came early this year, but you wouldn't know it based on today's weather. It's been kind of a roller coaster lately. One day it's hot, then the next it's cold.

Life's kinda like that too, isn't it? 

One day you're doing a-okay and the next you're in a funk the likes you've never seen. Sometimes there's a string of good days. The sort where everything is clicking along in one groovy motion after another and then God throws a wonky day in the mix. And on that day, Murphy's Law sets in. The sort of day where you want to jump back into bed and start again.

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

God didn't promise that your days would always be good. Sometimes he needs to teach you a lesson that only a wonky day can provide. But he did promise us that he would always be with us, walking beside us, or carrying us if the trial is too heavy.

So, if your "season" has one trial after another, take heart. God is working in you and giving you a new strength that only he can provide.

My prayer for you is to embrace your "seasons," good or bad. And know that even the bad days are working in your favor.

Genesis 26:24
That night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.”
