A woman of God said this in her video recently, and it stuck with me. She said,
“The God of your seasons understands the peculiarities that come with each of them.”
God understands that there will be seasons when praying at 12 a.m. may no longer be practical because you now have a baby to care for, exams to prepare for, or new responsibilities He Himself has entrusted to you.
But there is no such thing as being “too busy” for the God who made 24 hours sufficient for a person's daily life.
A particular time may no longer work because of a changing season, but there is always time to set aside for God.
But I realized that many times, our devotion suffers the most when our seasons change.
I know good Christian students who pause church activities completely until after exams — drop the Bible, pick up the books.
I recently started a physical job, and in the early stage, it messed up my prayer life because I had a prayer time that I was so used to but could no longer keep up with.
So whenever I woke up to pray, sleep would wake up before me. 🤣
Instead of adjusting the time, I kept trying to meet up with my old routine, but it was hard. Whenever I missed my prayer time, I would get very sad and think, “Omo, this job will take me away from God one day,” meanwhile, God is the One who gave me the job.
As your seasons change, your routine may change too, but don't stop being sensitive to God. Sometimes He may nudge you to spend a little more time with Him or pray at a different time. Don't become so attached to a routine that you miss His leading.
May your devotion never be the thing that suffers when your season changes.
And may we learn to prioritize devotion without idolizing a particular devotional structure so much that we fail to adjust it to accommodate our seasons — and the God of our seasons.
