The Best Season Yet
Read: Ephesians 5:15-21
See then that you walk
circumspectly, . . . redeeming the time, because the days are evil. —Ephesians
5:15-16
Life is a lot like the
weather . . . it’s seasonal. It has a way of pushing us into the next
season whether we like it or not. And when pushed into the next season, we are
often uncertain and even fearful of what it might hold for us.
This is especially true of
later seasons of life, when we are haunted by thoughts such as: ‘Will
I be left all alone? Will my health hold up? Will my money last? Will my mind
stay fresh? ’As with every season of life, we have to make a choice—to
waste the season in fearful thoughts or, as Paul says, make “the
best use of the time, because the days are evil”
(Eph. 5:16 esv).
Regardless of your season,
you can count on God’s faithfulness. He says, “‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’
So we may boldly say: ‘The Lord is my helper; I will not fear’” (Heb. 13:5-6).
Because you have God’s
presence and provision, you can make the most of your time in ‘every’
season by following Jesus closely, spending time in His Word and prayer, loving
and forgiving more freely than ever before, and serving others with joy and
generosity.
God has blessed us with our
present season—make the most of it! —Joe
Stowell
Lord, give me the grace to
accept life right where
it has put me, and help me to
overcome the fear
that would waste my days.
Give me the wisdom
and desire to make every day
count for You.
Life matters—make
the most of it!
Goodmorning
Life really has a way of pushing us into another season but our ability to adapt and work with what life throw at us is the difference between where we are and where we ought to be!Success is determinable,its not by accident.Make the best out of life,if not for U but at least for your unborn generation!
