Purpose, Time and SEASONS

Now that we have considered purpose and time...lets look at seasons. According to Eccl. 3:1, everything under heaven was given a purpose, a time, and a season. We know purpose is the reason for the existence of a thing and GOD has given us a number of days to finish what HE began in us. So then, "my future" is not ahead, "my future" is trapped inside of me, and only the creator of me can release it."

What is a season? A season is characterized by one of the four periods of a year; spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Spring is a season for planting. Summer is a season of growing and maturing. Autumn is a season of harvesting and reaping. Winter is a season for preparation and planning. These are also the seasons of our lives. The WORD of the LORD says to everything there is a purpose, a time, and a season. These seasons come and go. It's important for you to maximize your life and to live the abundant kind of life that JESUS intended for us to live. It's important for you to know what season you are in.

A season is defined as a period of time marked by certain conditions, which makes things suitable, proper, fitting, and right. When something is in its season, everything works for its good. A season cannot be denied...you must go through it. A season cannot be stopped. When you defy a season, a season can kill you. I believe it's the will of GOD for us to use purpose, time, and season to live a full life. What season are you in? Do you know?

Some people are expecting a harvest when they should be planting. Some people are trying to grow and increase when they should be planning and preparing. When you confuse the seasons, you violate your growth. So I'll ask you again, what season are you in?
