Each season has a time of preparation, planting, waiting and harvest. Every season has these four points. To avoid one requires a longer stay in that season to reach completion. For example, a farmer can toil the soil and prepare for planting. He can then wait and watch for crops to form. But if he never plants anything there will not be a harvest.
However, God is conditioning us for the long haul of faith. The kind of faith that produces blessings and promises for His Glory in every season. The Lord has promised that He will complete every good work that He has begun in our life. It says that He will perfect and bring it to full completion in us. We must make it a point to finish each season with the intensity that we began even when we are ready to move on to other things.
To abandon this season too soon is to forfeit the potential fulfillment and satisfaction found in the Lord when He completes what He has begun in each of us. The end of the cycle becomes a mental challenge more than a physical one. Endurance is not a physical attribute but a mental attitude.
Schools seem to be set in seasons and are always busy places, particularly Term 4 that seems to creep up on us each year before we know it! We suddenly find ourselves with so much to do and complete before the school year comes to an end and yet we need to prepare for the next year. The question is how do we manage?
“Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your heart and with all your soul. Every blessing to you all as you complete preparations for the end of year events, celebrations and farewells.
Eunice
