DON'T TRY TO GET OUT OF ANYTHING PREMATURELY
"To every thing there is a season..." (Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV)
 Every one of us goes through seasons in our lives. No matter how hard you pray, you can't pray your life's seasons away. There are some seasons you aren't meant to change; you're just meant to survive them! Paul calls these seasons "...light affliction, which is...for a moment..." (2 Corinthians 4:17 KJV). When you can't change your circumstances you must learn to grow through them. In the winter months the apple tree is bare without any leaves, but at the same time, it takes the advantage of the season to conserve its energy and prepare for the next fruitful season.
Our lives are the same way. Our achievements are seasonal. Growth comes, then struggle and vice versa. When He permits the cold winter winds to blow through your life, He's preparing you for the coming spring and summer.
Don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let your season do its work, so you become mature and complete. Every situation doesn't call for immediate action..."...let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing" (James 1:4).
Stay above...always. |
