Through all the
changing scenes of life,
In trouble and
in joy,
the praises of
my God shall still
My heart and
tongue employ.
-Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady
One of the most valuable lessons my earthly father taught me is the
principle of phases.
When I was younger and in my teen, I was very rebellious.
I didn’t know why I was acting the way I was…it was pretty much
uncomfortable and it seemed like I was on top of the world at the same time.
On one of my bouts of rebellion, I recall vividly my father telling
me that he is very much aware of the phase I am in…he told me that in time, it
would pass.
It did pass.
This period has been more of a silent one for me. I am constantly in
a place of silence and attentiveness.
By Grace, I find it that as I keep silent, I hear more.
I know that sometimes, when my mother looks at me, she wonders what
exactly is going on in my life… sometimes I do too…
My father, on the other hand, reminded me of the principle of phases
again.
He said to me, “this is the phase you find yourself in. if you give up on
yourself in this period, you will know the kind of woman you are allowing
yourself to become”.
My dear, it is
incumbent on you to know the seasons you are in… there is a time of sowing and
there is a time of harvest.
You cannot tell
winter to halt so that you enjoy spring or summer forever…when its time comes;
it will just come and nothing you do can stop it. In the same way, you cannot
tell the plan of God to halt so that you enjoy the phase He has placed you in
forever. God is moving… and so must You.
It is your duty
to ensure that you make the most out of every season He places you.
Sometimes, you
have to be silent…other times, you must speak…on other occasions, you have to
sit still…other times you have to run.
Beloved, there
is a time for everything and to everything there is a season.
So
what do you do when this ‘phases thing’ is so new to you?
You pray; you
ask the Holy Spirit to teach you all that you must do in this season and how to
go about every move. His role is to teach us all things. There is nothing… absolutely
nothing you can do without His Counsel, His Help and His Guidance.
Baby you need The Holy Spirit… and He wants you too.
Shall we pray:
Father in Heaven,
We thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit who teaches us all
things.
Father we ask for Wisdom to always consult Your Spirit concerning
our affairs on this earth.
Lord Holy Spirit, we welcome You into our lives.
We ask that we may always seek to know the phases we find ourselves
in and make the most out of every seed time and harvest time.
We receive Wisdom Lord…Wisdom that is not of this world but is of
You.
Thank You Lord.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen!
I pray you find
peace and contentment in this season
God bless you.
Bless a life today with this post.
