Seasons in life come and go. But God is with me for ever. Thank You Lord for this blessed reassurance and peace. Amen.
Peace
Lord I commit my life into Your Hands.
I have no way of knowing my Fathers plans.
But this one thing I have found I can do.
Is safely put my trust and faith in You.
You have never let me down.
You have never let me stay fallen on the ground.
You have always picked me up and cared for me.
In times of joy or sorrow it's Your face I'm glad to see.
No matter what's around the corner of life's highway.
I can always count on You to see me through.
That is why I can always say have Thy way.
And find peace and rest in You.
Just Around The Corner
When the rainy season stops and in some places when the snow melts, people say, "Spring is just around the corner." After the tulips and daffodils fade, and the weather stops being comfortable people say, "Summer is just around the corner." When the weather starts to get cooler and the leaves start to fall people say, "Fall is just around the corner." When the sky stays gray and it get really cold and the rains and snow start to fall people say, "Winter is just around the corner." Spiritually I go through all these seasonal changes too, although I can't always tell when they are just around the corner. Winter is usually a time of heart rending tears, and I feel numb as if my heart and life are frozen. I feel alone and isolated at these times unable to let anyone in. Spring in my life is usually fells fresh, alive, bubbly, growing, and joyful. At these times I love being around lots of people, the more the merrier. Summer in my life feels like I am basking in the sun (Son). At these times I am resting, relaxing, peaceful, storing up energy for the next season. Fall in my life feels empty, bleak, bare, and I just don't want to do anything. I feel at these times like I can't hear God, or feel His presence. These seasons aren't like earthly seasons, for I never know what order they will come in. But this I do know and walk in by faith, that in my winters God is there. He is what holds me together and keeps me going. He is my comfort and my source of strength to go on. In my springs I have no doubt in me whatsoever that God is there. He is renewing me, refreshing me, guiding me in my growth spurt. He is also at that time filling me with joy and bringing lots of people to be around. In my summers God is there. I really feel His nearness. I feel like He is telling me to eat His word, drink from His well, and rest in Him. I feel at these times He is saying "I am equipping you and preparing you for what is ahead. And remember I will be with you always." In my fall season I know He is there. Again I walk by faith trusting in Him. I know that I don't have to see to believe. I know that I don't have to hear to obey or be in His will; because He has written His words and will in my heart. I can look in the bible when I am not sure about what to do. At this time I know He is still reigns; therefore all will be well.
To everything there is a season, a time for every thing under heaven Ecclesiastes 3:1, Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? When I awake, I am still with You. Psalms 139:7, 18 Lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20 As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. Evening, morning, and noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice. Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never let the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:16-17,22
