Take Stock
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under Heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1
Today, I encourage you to take stock of the season you are in. We find ways to do this in the natural, even in Florida without distinct seasons (maybe Summer and Hurricane?), with decorations, coffee flavors, and clothes. What is your season of life? Young kids? Empty nest? Health? Sickness? Wealthy or lean? Top of the mountain or low in the valley? For everything there is a place, and what strength looks like in one could be weakness in another.
If there is a part of you that has missed the change in the season, adjust now. Sometimes we just need to really open our eyes, spiritually AND naturally, to identify where we are and what’s needed in this day. Yahweh made it – whether it feels great or is heavy. There’s a time for both, a reason for both, and grace for it all. Our part is to discern His heart and take the time He’s reserved for it.
Look around and see if you’re braced for the storm when the sun is shining, or if you need to adjust your schedule to make room for more stillness. Look at yourself, your family, and friends and honor the season that Yahweh has made.
