Good morning
Hope all is well with you, here’s breakfast fresh from New York.
John 4: 35 (NKJV)
Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
Carpe Seasons
The journey (pilgrimage) of life is certainly a journey of different seasons, the art of living well is to make sure that you live (milk the juice out of) each and every season, both sowing into and reaping from each and every one of them.
· Being alive means that we will all walk through the various seasons of life, here is a classic verse from the wisdom of Ecclesiastes to make you think this morning.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-2 (NKJV)
To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: 2 A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted;
· If you get chance read the rest of this classic chapter to see the different types of seasons each and every one of us face as we journey through this thing called life.
· Like King David said in Psalm 37:25 we will all experience being young and being old and every season in between, I have met some older people that live in the regret of not being a teenager anymore and I have met younger people that can’t wait for a later season of life (like being married) but the problem is they are missing the one they are in neither of these are good enough, love the season you’re in.
· You can’t always go back and re-live seasons gone but you can learn from them and you really don’t want to fast forward to the ones in the future because when the ones you are in are gone like flowers when they have flourished they are gone. The key for us all today is to Carpe (seize) the one you’re in!!!
· So today again learn from ones gone love the one you’re in and with faith and expectancy have excitement concerning the ones yet to come that are promised by God. Every season has something for you make sure you harvest it out !
· To everything there is a season. There are seasons of age, seasons of relationship, seasons of ministry and business, seasons of everything in them all there is a time to plant and a time to pluck (harvest) what was planted.
Here is some food for thought for you today as you consider the seasons that you are currently in.
- What seasons are you in today?
- Is it time to plant or to pluck up (harvest)?
- Are you getting from this season everything that you should be and that is in the season to be had?
- What else do you need to do to enjoy and seize the season you are in?
God Bless you, pray that this season of your life prospers, don’t say in four months but make the decision to live the life God has given you large today!
