THANKFUL THURSDAY...change of season

Here it is another new year.

With the turning of the calendar, also we find a new season. Winter. And old Mr. Winter has certainly slammed us with cold, snow and ice all over the states. I live in the south, where we do not get much snow but this past weekend we got hit with 5 inches of snow. As much fun as getting a snow day is for us, the cold and ice that follows is not always fun.

I have been hearing alot of people complain and gripe about the cold weather. I don't especially like it, but I embrace it and know that it is only for a season.  I wonder what kind of a difference it would make if we would also look at troubles, trials and tribulations we face in life with that same attitude.

I often times look at stress and difficulties as a growing time. A new season. A time for God to work out some kinks in my life. Of course, like many folks, I would rather complain and gripe about the hard times but I know that this problem that I am facing right now ...it is only temporary. It is only for a season. In due time, it will pass and it will only be a fleeting memory in my mind.

Just like the weather will change, so will the difficulties that we face. Through it all, there is only one thing that will remain the same. It never changes. It is the same on a windy day, a cloudy day and a sunny day. It remains constant when we are up, when we are down and when we are content. The Word of God NEVER changes. It remains the same, in every season of life that we find ourselves in.

Today on THANKFUL THURSDAY, I am grateful for God's Word that gives me clear direction for every season that I find myself in. It's Truth is solid, accurate, and applicable to all age groups through all generations!

“The grass withers, and the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.” (Isaiah 40:8 NKJV)

Isn't it a relief to know that there is something that does not change, or need to be modified or updated. We can stand upon the Word of God...through every season!
