"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:"
WE begin this most famous chapter on 'Time'. WE see the punctuation at the end of the verse and follow it down through the verses on time. WE note that verses 1 - 8 are one continual though, sentence that is all expressing of purpose and time. It may be that you know this passage very well; it may be that you do no know it. I cannot assume that all that read this will know it, so let us disect a little of its rich truths for our hearts and souls. To every thing there is a season - God has established our lives to be season; We note to other verses in Scripture about God creating season. These verses, to me, undo the theory of global warming. God directs nature, men and all that is therein. When God flooded the earth, He made a statement: 'While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.' That kinda of rules out 'ice age' don't you think?! The other verse is, 'He changeth the times and the season'.
This was when Daniel was worshipping the Lord for revealing the king's dream and intreptation. God is the one Who sets, changes and establishes the seasons of earth, men, nations and time. The seasons are very critical to understand and explore. LEt us look at a few for us to see and know for our own lives. There is the season of life. Men are born, and men die. And throughout this season called 'living', there is mamny seasons we go through: the seaons of childhood; the season of youth; the seaon of family; the season of labor; the season of old age. ONe season comes and goes and another replaces it. So it is in life. What season are you in? There is the season of nature.
We see the splendor of this throughout the year. Some areas of the country have a greater revelation of seasons. I live in WV and we see every season in its marvel of God's hand. The seaons are summer, fall, winter and spring. These seaons are compared to life and the spiritual walk as well. That is reference to another season, spiritual season. Some are babes in Christ, having just come to Jesus as a newborn babe. Others are mature, seasoned chrsitians, having grown in the faith. Where are you at? There is another seaons of emotions. I believe we must all learn and grow through emotional up's and down's. Some are better at it than others.
