Fall is my favorite season of all the seasons.  I'm not sure why Fall is my favorite season, maybe because it brings back happy memories.  I love the many shades of red, yellow and orange leaves clinging to the trees, watching the leaves fall and the crispness and newness in the air.  For some reason, it always seems to me that it is a fresh new beginning for me and a time when I sense a new hope in my spirit.  I certainly always need this refreshing.

 

"Be not weary in well doing: because in due season you will reap, if you faint not. " Gal. 6:9

This is a  a conditional promise from God.  We must keep doing well and we must not faint through whatever problem we are facing.  Sometimes it may seem that there will never be a breakthrough for us and it is so easy to grow weary and to try to manipulate and control situations.  Sometimes the easiest thing becomes the hardest thing for us and that is letting go of the situation and completely turning it over to God.  I know for myself, personally this has always been my biggest struggle.

 

I can only imagine that God is saying, "Why don't you let me take care of this for you?" 

When I finally give up and say, " I can't do anything about this, please help me",  I imagine that He says, "Good now I can finally do something."  By us trying to take care of all of our problems ourselves probably stops God from doing anything, especially when we are operating out of God's will and out of His principles.  Now I try my best to turn my problems over to God right away which is pure wisdom, but like I said I still have my struggles.  I say let's do what we can in the natural and then God can take care of the supernatural. Let us place our problems in the Hands of God our Father and just watch what He can do that we cannot.

 

We sometimes may feel like we have missed it or that God has no answer for us, but God always has an answer and sometimes only time will tell.  God has His own timing and I don't know exactly why, but He does.  Many times He is the God of the midnight hour and He is stretching our faith and teaching us to believe Him for greater things.  Believing brings us right into the middle of God's rest.  And during the wait our strength is renewed.

 

For everything there is a season and we are all going through different seasons in our lives.  Every season of life brings new changes and new challenges. God uses the bitter, lonely cold winter season of our life to develop character in us and compassion for others.  Winter seasons do not last forever and our due season does come if we faint not.  Dear friend, do not despair, spring is just around the corner. 

 

If you're going through a difficult season, my best advice is to turn it over to let go and turn it over to God right away...Pray, Hear, Obey and WAIT!  Remember that this too shall pass and that those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength and mount up on eagle's wings.  Isaiah 40:31

 

 

God bless you,
