ENJOYING IT, NOT JUST ENDURING IT

Ecclesiastes 3:1(Nkjv) To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven:…

I like cute drawings and have this old picture of two little rabbits with snow falling outside. It looks so cosy with them tucked up safe and warm inside even though it’s a season of cold snow outside which made me think of our winter to come. 

Here in the UK East Midlands, last winter seemed to go on forever, cold and wet, so I wasn’t looking forward physically to this coming season of winter one bit. But as I looked at my picture, I felt the Lord say every season has its own beauty and He wants us to not just endure it but enjoy it and allow Him to bring out the good in it, both physically and spiritually because it has a purpose.

It’s all a question of attitude and He wants me to adjust mine! How about you?

We’re also all in different seasons of life and some are more challenging than others, where it may seem to go on forever and maybe you’ve struggled to keep going sometimes. I believe the Lord is reminding us to not focus on what’s wrong, on what’s bringing us down, on what might go wrong, but to focus on what’s right, focus on Him keeping us safe and secure, to provide what we need, to remember every season has a good purpose and it will come to an end in it’s time. Maybe He wants you to have an attitude adjustment, to ask Him for a different perspective on what’s troubling you or what’s happening.😊 

He wants us all to ask Him to help us to rise above the situation and see it with His eyes and trust Him to not just ‘get us through it’ but find His peace and joy in it. We know He is in it with us so let’s be content to rest in Him, and allow Him to be to us all we need, knowing He is the Lifter of our heads, our Provider, our Healer, our Joy giver and Peace provider, regardless of what’s happening outside us!

So this is just a little reminder to allow the Lord to help us to not just endure, but enjoy, whatever season we are in, both physically and spiritually and to see the good in it.😊Amen.
