Blessings In Every Season

November 17, 2025

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" Ecclesiastes 3:1

Each of us should be able to enjoy the changing of the seasons. To see summer turn to fall and see the leaves and the trees change to a variety of pretty colors for some this is there most favorite time of the year. We have seen the snow and ice of winter take its toll on roads and people, and at the same time watch children as they make angels in the snow. We have experienced the frozen landscape of winter, change into budding flowers of spring, and then experience the warmth and beauty of summer. Life has a way of taking us through seasons as well. One time we are up and everything is going well, then all a sudden we are in the midst of storms and trials. There are times when we do not understand the seasons and the things we are going through, but we must remember God has a purpose for all we go through in life. The Scripture reminds us that to everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven. I encourage you today no matter what season you may be going through in life to remember God has a purpose and a plan for this season. As you go through the turbulent days you must remember God has a purpose for this season you are facing. Just as the rough winter turns itself into the beauty of spring, you must remember God has your spring just around the corner. Every season is not a terrible season, and it may seem like the tough seasons last longer than the others, but rest assure there is a change coming for you. There is a purpose for what you face and go through in life, just trust God to see you through this season, and to bring you out alright. Seasons change and there is a new season coming for me, a season of blessings, happiness, and prosperity. Since I am entering my season of blessings I can confidently proclaim, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

"Lord, thank you for every season you allow me to go through. There are some seasons that are difficult but you carry me through and I am grateful. Thank you for my season of blessings, happiness, prosperity, joy, and peace that I know you have for me. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen."
