It is He who changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and establishes kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and [greater] knowledge to those who have understanding!
Dear Ones: Times and the Seasons! Spring has sprung. We take the changing of the seasons as the normal way of things. Winter gives way to spring then spring gives way to summer. Then the entire cycle repeats itself year by year. However, consider that God established the seasons for His purposes. The tilt of the earth on its axis was not an accident, it was God’s doing for His good pleasure.
There are also times and seasons for nations. One leader is raised up while another is brought down. In many nations, the people vote for their leaders. But who counts the votes really determines the outcome. Even with all of the waywardness in the voting process, God is the one Who raises up leaders. Consider that God could have smote Pharoah in Moses’ day. He could have killed him on the spot for refusing to let the people go to worship Him. But He used Pharoah’s hard heart to demonstrate His power. His greatness outshined the gods of Egypt in their own land.
Times and Seasons of our Lives
On a personal level, we go through times and seasons in our lives. When we enter a wilderness time, it seems that the Lord is far from us. But the Master said in John 14:18, VOICE, “I will never abandon you like orphans; I will return to be with you.” So, keep in mind that seasons change, and the wilderness times will give way to times of great blessings.
Declare: “I know that the times and the seasons of my life are directed by the Master. Through it all, I know He is with me and in me. The new life of springtime brings me great comfort to know that all things are possible if I trust Him. Praise the Lord!” Have a blessed weekend in Jesus’ name.
