Rather than praying for a change in circumstances, pray for a change of heart. To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. —Ecclesiastes 3:1 In Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, Solomon acknowledged the cycles of life. He
observed a time to sow and to reap, to weep and to laugh, to mourn and
to dance, to gain and to lose, to keep silent and to speak, to love and
to hate. Just as God determines the weather, He also controls the
cycles in our lives: “To everything there is a season, a time for every
purpose under heaven” (Eccl. 3:1). Do we resist those seasons and
complain about the “snowy” conditions on the horizon? Or do we trust
God and thank Him for whatever He has planned for us? Just as the winter turns to spring,
Our lives have changing seasons too;
So when a gloomy forecast comes,
Remember—God has plans for you. —Sper |
