Wednesday's Word ~ Season
Season ~
Webster's Definition: N - one of the four divisions of the year associated with a type of weather and a stae of agriculture; proper time; period during which something happens, grows, is active, etc.
Psalm 1:3 - "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."
Ecc. 3:1-2 - "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;"
Lince this week we began the fall season I thought this word was quite appropriate. As I sit and ponder this word season what do I think of? My first thought is change. I guess because there is such a difference when we think of it in light of nature: spring - new flowers, leaves, grass; life beings to come forth; summer - most things are to it fullness, color everywhere you look; rain, hot sun. Life is at its peak. Then fall comes. OH, the color show it brings forth. That's when I truly know God loves color (my opinion personally). On its heals we find winter bringing us a white blanket to the earth; things die or should I say go into a dormant state for a time. Oh, the quiet hush that lays on the land. But for a season because soon we know that Spring will break forth upon the land and newness comes again. Isn't God great! To see how He keeps it all running in His course and time. Nothing man can do to stop OR change it. God's beauty is all around you - enjoy the season He has given you. You can't change it.
