God and Seasons

Do you ever feel like your best ideas come to you while your in the shower? Well that's where I was when I thought about this. We have different seasons in our lives. We have the winter which is cold and wet, it stays dark longer than light and its necessary to ensure that the plant life is well watered. I love winter because it causes you to cover up just so you can stay warm. In winter most people gain weight because they don't want to go outside to work out and they eat warm hearty foods. Now spring is beautiful that's when you see the result of all the rain from the winter. Things start to bloom, things are colorful and exciting because it is almost exactly opposite of the cold, wet season that proceeded it. Fall is pretty amazing itself things gradually turn colors, there is a crispness in the air and things began to fall away literally. Summer is hot, people wear less clothes this time of year and are outside more. Its busy, wonderful, and exciting.

We have these seasons in our spiritual lives we have winters where we need to clothe ourselves more with the word and the things of God because it is cold outside in the world. In the winter we edify our bodies by eating hearty foods that will sustain and warm us.

Spring comes along and we began to see the fruits of our labor, while planting new seeds. This is an exciting time where we see the beauty of what God has given us. Anticipating the harvest for the next year.

Fall is a season where things fall away in our lives that are not like God its a season of pruning where only the strong survive.

Summer is a season where we wear less spiritually but are more active in the things of God.

Right now I am in a winter season. What season are you in?
