Seasons

While the earth remains,Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer,
And day and night Shall not cease. (Genesis 8:22, Holy Bible, New King James Version)

Routine is often seen as a rut that hinders progress toward a specific goal. Motivators tell us to get out of the rut, to abandon the stereotype, to embrace change.

I’ve seen many seasons. Fall is my favorite. I welcome it every year. Is fall a rut? No, it has a purpose. Along with the other seasons, it is proof of God’s covenant with Noah, a promise we inherited as long as earth remains.

Prayer: Eternal God, times and seasons continue as a declaration that no man can hinder Your promises. Amen.

“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1, Holy Bible, King James Version).

Without the noticeable tick, tick, tick of a second hand, a digital clock moves from one minute after the hour to two. Three. Four. Five. Minutes march in silence until 59 transitions to double zero, marking a new hour. Hours glide toward a full day. Seven sunrises announce a new week. A month slips by, then two and three to a new season. Spring foliage dispels winter’s grip. Summer bursts into bloom. A blaze of red, brown, and gold hues blend into fall before icicles proclaim another winter. Seasons transition into a year. Purpose emerges in this cycle to bring hope to those who trust in God.

Prayer: Lord, let the seasons of my life proclaim my hope and confidence in You. Amen.
