A SEASON OF TIME

A Season of Time 
By: Tyararr J. Jones

Seasons of time quickly pass changing drastically upon our way,
Sprinkling upon us joy, sadness, ups and downs, and other mysteries to our day.

The duration of each season cannot be controlled by the temporal hands of man,
But directed by the will of God and carried out according to His eternal plan.

You may be experiencing a season that is trying and straining you to the core,
Press on and stay the course, for through Christ's strength and grace you can handle more.

Some seasons of time are enjoyable and we find them easy to embrace,
Others test us, prod us, change us, and put us properly in our place.

We may not be always ready for what circumstances our season of time may bring,
May we seek the Lord daily for wisdom and trust Him to orchestrate the tune our life should sing.

The face of each season may look familiar and sometimes a trial disguised as blessing,
We must embrace each season with grace and patience instead of with arms laced with stressing.

The posture of our hearts must be challenged to bow daily before the King,
He is the only one who truly orchestrates the seasons and what lessons to our life they bring.

I don't know what season is upon you or how long it will endure,
May your thoughts not become self-focused but focused on God's Word so rich and pure.

Stay the course faithfully seeking Christ in the midst of each season,
For God has a perfect plan and purpose and a divine reason. 

PRESS ON!!...........

What is your season right now? Maybe its: (You're a college freshman and facing all new things, You're a Senior in college and not sure what you're going to do next, You just got engaged, You just had your first child and uncertain of the future, You lost your job, Your heart has been broken, You have been hurt in ministry, You have lost your way on your journey of life,....maybe you are at a standstill and you really have not idea what to do. No matter what season you are enduring I pray that you will look to the Lord daily and press on. What we face and endure during this lifetime is temporary, but what we have to look forward to in Christ is Eternity in Heaven. If you have lost hope, trust the Lord. If you are afraid, frustrated, unsure, etc...Look to Christ who is always there. May you be refreshed and encouraged by reading this. All for His Glory!
