Seasons

"All of my life, in every season

You are still God

I have a reason to sing

I have a reason to worship."

 

 

 

 

  This bridge has been ringing in my ears since Sunday. When I sing this, I feel because it is such an uplifting lighthearted melody, it's easy to just sing along and miss the response of what the lyrics are saying. At least maybe I'm viewing it a little different right now. This leads me to my reason of writing this morning.

 

  As I was looking through my older blog entries over the last couple of years I've noticed many different things, right down to my style of writing and oh my, what appalling grammar... I'm ashamed to even admit that I've made such errors in my writing. [These I have since attempted to correct.
 I am sure there will always be room for improvement.] All this to say, it is sometimes good to know where you've been and where you are now. Especially the transforming moments that make you into the person you are currently.

  I've seen God move in big ways but also in subtle ways throughout the past few years. I am so thankful to be able to see His fingerprint in areas of my life that at the moment, I didn't know He was there.

 

  So, transitioning through seasons. I'm not just talking about the weather here. I often think it is probably easier to go from Summer to Fall and Fall to Winter than actual "seasons" in our lives. [For the record I usually don't transition to Winter very well, it's a process.]

  I find myself currently in a position of transition. It is a good thing. It is also an uneasy thing. So as I sing that bridge, it is reminding me that no matter how I'm feeling in whatever season I'm transitioning out of, that God is still God. He gives me a reason to sing and to worship. I'm not saying that this is always easy, sometimes it can be difficult but it is possible.

 

  I am excited to see where the Lord is going to take me and I trust that His intentions for me are true, pure and all in love. So knowing this, I can sing and worship Him for He is good and always will be. He has begun a new thing in me and made a road in my wilderness. He has made rivers run through my desert. His reminder to me, "Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the ways of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, NOW it shall spring forth." [Isaiah 43:18-19]

  What an encouraging Word to receive in what our response should be when the Lord moves us, with praise flowing from our hearts, rolling off our tongues and off our lips.

 

  Everything Has Its Time.

 

"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven." -Ecclesiastes 3:1

 

  We already know that there are always going to be changes that take place in life, all we have to do is ask God for guidance and wisdom as we go through them. Sometimes that just means to step out on faith and take a risk because God is still God.
