There are many different seasons in life. each one has its own place. which seasons are you in? what roles to do you think each of these seasons play?

 

The bible also speaks of seasons...

 

There is a time for everything,

    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

    a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,

    a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,

    a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance,

    a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

    a time to search and a time to give up,
    a time to keep and a time to throw away,

    a time to tear and a time to mend,
    a time to be silent and a time to speak,

    a time to love and a time to hate,
    a time for war and a time for peace.

 

The second line might also read... 'There’s a time for everything that is done on earth.'

 

The season or time that I look forward to the most is the one which has not been mentioned yet, and that is when there will be a new earth and new heaven, when they will be together and we will be with God in a way which we cannot be now.

 

What season or time do you look forward to the most? Is it one that is mentioned above, or another one?

it's just so comfy...

Comfort... is it a good thing or a bad thing?

 

Comfort is something many of us strive for - in clothes, in people, in leisure, in life - and it can be a good thing to aim for, but is it always a good thing?

How about when you put comfort above other things, it becomes more important than people, than health, than common courtesy?

How about when you become comfortable with your religion, your church, your relationship with God? These can be good things, but they can also be bad if you get too caught up in being comfortable and become forgetful to what is most important.

What is most important is God. And our relationship with Him. And sharing the good news of the Kingdom of Heaven with others. If comfort challenges these things, then we should in turn challenge that comfort.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. -Matthew 6:33

 I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. - Revelation 3:1b-3a
