I read this on Swerve and wanted to share it with you. Five years ago I did a sermon series on the seasons of Life and I think with all that is going on these days, this is a great blog post for EVERYONE!
Every planet on the solar system has seasons. On Venus, seasons are very short. On Uranus, a season can last for 20 years. (No Uranus jokes, please… haha! )
You might feel like you are in a prolonged winter. And you might be correct.
* You are praying with few answered prayers.
* You’re witnessing and seeing few conversions.
* You’re laboring tirelessly and seeing minimal results.
If you’re in winter and waiting for spring, remember God is working in winter too. During the cold months, the tree and plant roots grow deeper and stronger. In this season, God is often doing an unseen work preparing His creation for spring. He does more internally than externally.
It is helpful to remember, you can’t have spring without winter.
How has God worked during the winter seasons in your life?
