Waiting Or Waiting Around?

Seasons do not last forever.

The season that we are in right now will come to an end. I know for me, I am awaiting the day of change, a day of answers, a day of harvest.

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

Winter is my least favorite season—I relish all things sunshine. Yesterday, I walked outside without a coat on and was rudely introduced to a cold, north wind. I ran inside as fast as I could to shield myself from the frigid air. This is not my season. With that said, if I could categorize the circumstance you’re facing as a season, then I want to encourage you that it will not last forever.

If we are not carful we can miss opportunities waiting for a new season to come. Waiting on God is a virtue—however—waiting around for something to happen is redundant; it produces nothing.

So I ask…

• Are you preparing, or are you just waiting around?
• What kind of harvest will you produce with the seeds that you are planting now?

If you desire to see souls birthed into the Kingdom of God, then you need to plant the word of God in people’s hearts. We are the living, breathing church of God and we carry His power with you wherever you go.

How can you plant seeds of the word and prepare for a harvest?

1. Share your testimony on social media or with someone you work with.
2. Get together for a coffee meet-up with a new guest from church and ask them to join a Bible study.
3. Record a 60 second devotional and post on Instagram or Facebook.
4. Share your favorite scripture, or something that God spoke to you in prayer with a cashier at the grocery store.
5. Invite a coworker, family member, or someone you meet running errands to church, home group meeting, or fellowship.
6. When your church service is streaming, hit the “share” button, so everyone you are connected with has an opportunity to join.

Don’t be so eager for this season to end, but ask God, what can I do to prepare myself for what is to come?
