Last night I was on my way to get chips, salsa and queso for my group members I was working with on a project. I was in a hoodie, jeans and sandals. It was in the 70's last night. I have a hard time changing from hoodies to t-shirts when summer and spring begin to roll in. Sandals? Not a problem. I love sandals.
God began to speak to me in my car about seasons and changing with them when they come. Sometimes we get so comfortable in the season we are in that we won't move on when God says its time to move on. I like being snuggly in my hoodie with a hot cup'a somethin in my hands. Where I'm from though, that is only for a season. When the weather starts to change, if you don't, you limit yourself. You can't enjoy the beauty of the next season because you are sweating it out in your hoodie and jeans.
In my short life so far on this earth and in following Christ, I have found that He does not allow you to get comfortable. As soon as you think you're good He says "Okay, now I want that. That thing that you have gotten comfortable with because I have something more. If you give it to me, I have a new season for you to walk in to. I even have the right clothes for you to wear and the provision you need to fully benefit in this next time."
Not every season we move into is easy or comfortable. Usually its neither one of those things. Here's the thing though, when you move into that season because it is GOD'S timing, there is a supernatural grace for you to walk through whatever comes your way. I promise you, you will grow no matter what that season brings if you keep your eyes on Jesus and hand over the hoodie. If you keep that hoodie on in 90 degree weather, it becomes a heavy, sweaty mess that makes you feel nasty. Don't hold on to things when their season is up.
The flowers are blooming and destiny awaits if you hand over your winter clothes to a Father who has so much more for you to walk in.
Ecclesiastes 3:1,11
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens...He has made everything beautiful in its time."
