Take the Best out of Every Season
What does this mean?
"We must not leave a season empty-handed.”
It is part of our Creator’s design when He establish the dimension of time, He divided it in seasons (Genesis
Seasons come and go.
It is wise that we learn how to get In and Out of seasons with optimum benefit, knowing that life is brief.
How?
Psalm 90:12 [NLT] “Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.
This verse speaks of wisdom. We need wisdom. With that we must be teachable. Let’s get wisdom to help us in the management of our limited life-time.
We should know that when we operate in wisdom, the result is always best.
Season and time is the “clock”, the “watch”, or the “time marker” of our life.
It is essential we make our time counts to make our life counts.
Right now, here in this - ‘dimension of time’ in between eternities – that is - Eternity before time and Eternity after time. Our goal is to cross into and be part of that next Eternity with our Creator.
The period of time is measured in moments, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years and seasons after season between our physical birth and physical death.
In this limited dimension of time, where we are now, time is our currency.
Let’s value it.
We must not waste time.
Let’s respect and honor time of the people around us.
We spend and buy time, wisely.
Lamentations 3:21-23 says:
“Yet I still dare to hope
when I remember this:
The faithful love of the Lord never ends!
His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness;
His mercies begin afresh each morning.”
Time is for our stewardship.
We must sow time with goal for increase – in eternal gain.
We have to manage time well in order to hope to have better seasons.
God provides fresh time every morning through His mercies and compassions.
Always 24 hours. No less.
It’s like our daily cash allowance.
We must steward it.
Proverbs 12:11 (Amplified Bible)
“He who tills his land shall be satisfied with bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits is lacking in sense and is without understanding.”
Time is life.
How we spend TIME is how we spend LIFE.
In spending our life it is important to perpetuate good seasons.
We must be aware that what we do in each season determines our future. How we spend our time determines the result. Spend it well. Not on worthless pursuits.
Ephesians 5:15-16 (NKJV)
“See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.”
Psalm 90:12 (KJV)
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom”.
These verses, advice us to
Redeem the time because the days are evil. Number our days wisely - Budgeting.
We must provide margins in time budgeting.
Ephesians
Rather redeem – use time wisely.
We should keep asking ourselves, is my (our) season better? Is it living upward between eternities? or, spiraling downward to eternal destruction?
While we are in this life of time, it is essential that we must spend our time with the Timeless One.
The FIRST BEST PORTION of our time is for Him. We spend it for, with and in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Let’s use our currency - TIME, to transact with God, SPIRITUALLY.
Make use of our limited time for unlimited eternal commodity and gain. Spend and transacted with God, our limited time currency – then, we can receive spiritual benefit for the eternal life.
Psalm 90:12 [NLT] “Teach us to realize the brevity of life,
so that we may grow in wisdom.”
Let’s have this attitude in prayers. Let’s spend our time with our timeless Heavenly Father in Christ Jesus our Lord, for a secure and certain better seasons, in our life ahead –in wisdom, taking with us the best of the season we’re leaving behind.
