There is a season for everything and a time for every purpose (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). In one season, tearing down and separation may be necessary. In another, holding on to something or someone, no matter the cost, may be the right choice. Discernment is crucial to understanding these times and seasons. Without proper discernment, people risk operating outside the will of God and may be labeled “workers of iniquity” (Matthew 7:21-23). Knowing when to act and when to wait requires wisdom and prayer, ensuring our actions align with God’s purpose for each season.
Awareness of times and seasons is crucial. God might plan to make you a leader, and in this current season, you are meant to serve under someone else. Missing these cues can result in missing out on God’s plan in the next season. If you don’t fully commit to the learnings, discipline, and demands of your current season, you may find yourself ill-prepared and unequipped for the future. Each season builds upon the last, and understanding your current role ensures you are ready for what comes next. By being aware and diligent, you align yourself with God’s unfolding plan.
The things that move our lives forward rarely seem urgent. Activities like reading a book, taking extra courses, or finding time to volunteer in church often appear easy to postpone. However, understanding your current station in life and the present times and seasons is crucial. By recognizing the importance of these seemingly non-urgent tasks, you can prioritize your preparation and work for what comes next. Embrace your current season with intention and diligence, ensuring you are ready for the future God has planned for you. Aligning your actions with His timing leads to a fulfilling and purposeful life.
