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.
Just as mango in ‘Naija’ and all over the world where mango is grown has a ‘season’; in Christ The Season never ends, Amen. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17.
We are blessed for: “With Man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
There is no telling when good things or terrible things will happen. God does what He does without us knowing the entire meaning of it all. Yet, God makes everything beautiful in its season, even in the darkest of seasons (Ecclesiastes 3).
All throughout the Bible, God has set seasons and times for everything. From Genesis to Revelation, God shows us what He does, what He has done, and what will be done. The Bible says in Ecclesiastes 3:14-15,
I know that whatever God does, it shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him. That which is has already been, and what is to be has already been; and God requires an account of what is past.
God gives us these seasons to build up and sanctify us. We all endure most of all of these seasons because God wills us to go through that which He has laid upon our lives. Whatever season you are in, it’s for a reason. We may never know these reasons.
know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor — it is the gift of God.
In all circumstances, God sets forth season after season just as the flowers grow and the leaves fall. In Psalm 104:19, the Bible states, “He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.”
God does what He does without us knowing the entire meaning of it all. God makes everything in season beautiful (Ecclesiastes 3:11), even in the darkest of seasons. Our fears tell us that we cannot manage this difficult season, in turn, we should give up.
But as Galatians 6:9 states, “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” But most of all, do not give up, even in the circumstances that we got ourselves into. God has already made a way to return to the path He has set upon us (Proverbs 3:5-6).
