The season we are entering into is a very pivotal season. Everything that God wants us to get and accomplish in this season, is setting us up for the next season. A friend recently encouraged me saying, some seasons may be for learning faith, some for grace, some for love etc. Do you get what I am trying to say? Our seasons are not wasted, they are for purpose. We all have a call that God has placed in us that he wants us to pursue. Some of us might have a call to pioneer, maybe to be fire starters, maybe to be fathers and mothers, maybe some are called to the nations. I know that before we can accomplish any great call, he sets us up for success so that we can have every tool in our tool belt to accomplish what He wants.
A lot of times we get so caught up in what others are doing or saying, that maybe we feel like we’ve been rejected or not heard. But what the lord showed me is that if we do not keep our eyes on him and what he is wanting to do in this season, we will not gain the very tool that we need for the next season. God places people in our lives so that we can grow. A lot of times we think that we are fighting people when the Bible says, “Our fight is not against people on earth. We are fighting against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world’s darkness. We are fighting against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:12 ERV
I heard the lord say, if we are not careful, we will allow the enemy to uproot what He doing in this season. We must know the spirit operating in our midst and remember that He has given us strategy to spray fire on the enemy in this season. Let us know what is in or midst and cast it out.
Let us be graceful, loving and honorable to those that God has placed in our lives, because we are all learning and growing into the fullness of what He has. Whether that is to love more, be graceful, be a good Steward, or let go of old patterns. I don’t know what God is trying to teach you in this season, but I know what it is for me and I want to choose to fully embrace all that He is trying too teach me so that I can be fully mature in what I need for the next season.
When sand gets into a clam, it begins to bring irritation to the clam until it forms a pearl.
So the question is, are we going to let the things that are irritating us bring out the best in us or are we going to let the things that are irritating us bring bitterness and judgment?
Let God bring out the pearl in you, then find the treasure in others and begin to pull it out of them. Ask the lord to give you eyes to see his people like He does.
