Value The Season You’re In

The revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.

Habakkuk 2:3

As the seasons change, you might notice things growing or dying, getting warmer or growing colder, depending on where you live. As things get colder, it’s easy to long for warmer, brighter times. Yet if the earth skipped any of the seasons, growth would be limited. So it is for the season of your life right now.

If you’re in a season of waiting, of what feels like the fall or winter, and you wish you were in a different time, know that God has more for you to learn.

Maybe it’s a lesson in relationships, money management, or cleanliness. For example, if you want an office with a view, then try keeping your current work space tidy. Regardless of your season, allow it to prepare you for the birth of your next season—the one filled with your dreams and God-given purpose. As you continue waiting:

• Recognize and reflect on how far this present season has brought you.

• Ask the question: Is there more to learn here?

• Appreciate the opportunities this season has given you.

And then, keep waiting, trusting that God will bring growth in all your seasons.

Lord, please open my eyes to what You are doing in and around me. I embrace Your teaching and leading in this season.
