"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:" The Holy Bible, English Standard Version. ESV® Text Edition: 2016. Copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
The past few weeks have been busy with family things. It has been wonderful and also required some recovery time as those of you with chronic illnesses understand. I have been soaking up all of the time carefully being outside and with family for I know winter is coming.
You see, here in my "neck of the woods" the trees are showing glorious fall color. It is the time of year that God's paints such beauty all around us. On a recent family trip, I may have stated one too many times for my niece's preference, "OH, look at that gorgeous tree."
Slowly, the trees are losing their leaves and color. My nieces and I were talking about it... each season has such beauty in it. One niece prefers the base trees that shine like diamonds with ice and snow as winter sets in. Her perspective truly touched me. Beauty in every season.
I needed that reminder. Winter is coming. I have been reminded of God's beauty as well as at the coming winter. Winter, for me as for many with chronic illnesses, means isolation and being house-bound. Especially after gradually being able to get out a bit more this spring/summer/fall, I am honestly not looking forward to it.
But... God reminded me that as I prepare for this new season of winter and what is ahead, He is in every season. He never changes even as the seasons do. He is ever faithful.
God is in each season. He never changes. As the song "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" states, "summer and winter, spring-time and harvest" He is faithful. As winter approaches, we can rest assured that He will walk through us in that season.
No matter what season you are in right now in your life (and I don't mean the weather), God is in it. He is faithful. He does not change. Praise His Name!
