Ecclesiastes 3: 1 - 8
To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
We will experience many seasons in our lives. Seasons of happy times, Seasons of sadness, Seasons of prosperity and overflow, and Seasons of lack. Seasons comes with life. Whatever season you are experiencing at this moment, I encourage you to try to take on the spirit of Paul. Paul said that whatever state he found himself in he learned to be content. Being content is a state of mind. It means that you are at peace. Now please note that being content doesn't mean that you can't work toward changing a bad situation. But rather that you won't allow the bad situation to steal your joy. You remain at peace even in the midst of turmoil while striving to bring about a change in the situation. This state of contentment can only be achieved with a personal close relationship with God our Father.
If you find yourself in a happy season- a season of laughter and joy. I pray that you enjoy and embrace it fully.
If you find yourself in a season that is leaving you desiring more. I pray that you will be content as you take steps of change that will lead to the modification of your current status.
And as a reminder, Please don't forget to praise God every step of the way. In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you!
