Many people struggle getting through a circumstance or a situation, mainly because they are simply not willing to wait.
We can truthfully say that nothing last forever, only the things of God are eternal, everything else has its seasons. Granted, some things tend to hang around longer than we would like at times, but the comfort in those things is …“this too shall pass!”
I remember as a young child working on a milk truck, milk back then came in bottles ( I can still hear the distinct sound they made as they would cling cling together ) and it was home delivered, you NEVER hear of home delivered milk any more, not even out in very rural areas, it has past like a season.
Most of us have our preference when it comes to seasons, some like it hot, others like it cold, some could care less. I for one like the spring, I guess I could say the fall of the year is my most favorite time, more specifically, around the 10th of Sept. because the days are still warm and the nights are starting to get cooler, then of course there is the factor of the beauty of the changing of the leaves.
Let me say again, NO season last forever! You may be going through something right now wondering, Dear God! how much longer, trust me, I am well acquainted with this very question. Here’s what I’ve learned over the years in most of these situations, many times there are great lessons in these things and sometimes depending on the matter, how quick we learn the lesson determines how long we must steep in it.
Many times my prayer has been, God please teach me what you want me to learn and I’ll go on to the next, and for this I’ll be the better.
None of us like trials; we certainly don’t pray okay God! Send me another one, but this time make it bigger than the last! that I don’t recommend. But, I also don’t recommend avoiding what comes our way; we will get through it by the help and grace of God.
One scripture that comes to mind is this:
- 1Pe 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
Remember, the TEST is for us, NOT for God. He already knows how we will respond.
Friend, we can make it through any situation, regardless of what it is - and to God be the glory!
- Eph 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
- Gal 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Praying with YOU in mind,
Written by, Evangelist: Frank Mc Gee ~
