There is a Season

By -

To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die;
 A time to plant, and a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal;
 A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
 A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; 
A time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, and a time to lose; 
A time to keep, and a time to throw away; A time to tear, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate;
 A time of war, and a time of peace. —Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 (NKJV)

Each season has its proper time and serves a purpose. We can learn from each season we encounter. One season may serve to prepare our hearts to receive the Word of God. While another season will allow The Word to be planted in good soil. Another season may serve to remove any weeds, or roots of bitterness (negative things we hold onto). To be able to discern the season, we must be led by the Holy Spirit. God sets the appointed time. We may not understand the “why?” of each and every event, but we can trust Yahweh, that no matter what happens, He will work it together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. (See Romans 8:28) The lives of Job and Joseph serve as two good examples.

He Leads & Guides

If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me. — Psalms 139:9-10 (NASB1995) No matter where you are, our heavenly Father is aware of the situation and He is with you. In Psalms 139:5 David asks: “ Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? ” Psalms 139:10-11 (TPT) says: “Wherever I go, your hand will guide me; your strength will empower me. It’s impossible to disappear from you or to ask the darkness to hide me, for your presence is everywhere, bringing light into my night.” If you have wandered away, He will lead you back onto the right path, that leads to life, and life more abundantly. Let us be ever grateful that we are never out of His reach. Even when we are lost in the darkness, Yahweh knows where we are, His hand is on us and He will guide us back to Him and into His marvelous light. We just need to be obedient and follow. “You’ve gone into my

Our Stability

Yahweh is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. And He will be the stability of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; The fear of Yahweh is his treasure. — Isaiah 33:5-6 (LSB) Stability will not be found in the government, the balance of your bank account, or any material possessions. The state of this world is constantly changing and full of turmoil and conflict. Yahweh is the stability of our times, and He does not change. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken. (Psalms 62:2 NLT) Trust in Yahweh forever, for in Yah— Yahweh Himself— we have an everlasting Rock. (Isaiah 26:4 LSB) ...thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed.” (Isaiah 28:16 NASB1995) Whoever believes in Yeshua need never be shaken. Anything else we choose to rely on, is like shiftin

Know & Believe

We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. — 1 John 4:16 (NASB1995) May we know and believe in the unfailing love Yahweh continually lavishes upon us. First Corinthians 8:3 (AMP) says: …if anyone loves God [with awe-filled reverence, obedience and gratitude], he is known by Him [as His very own and is greatly loved]. Let His love seep into every pore and fiber of your being. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Messiah Yeshua our Lord. (Romans 8:38-39 TLV) This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. (1 John 4:10 NLT) As Yahweh pours His love into us, may we share it with everyone He brings our way. Dear frie
