It’s February already, and Phil saw his shadow, so we are going to have 6 more weeks of winter. I hate to tell Phil this, but God already promised us seasons.
In Genesis 8:22, God tells us that “as long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night will never cease.”
So, what season of life are you in? Are you in a season of thanks since God has slowed us down enough that we can see His handiwork in nature, in our families, and in ourselves?
Today is a bright, sunny cold day. Have you thanked the LORD for the sunshine? For a warm home? For the warmth of love from family and friends? Or are you grumbling about the cold, about having to cook one more meal at home, about having to stay at home?
Again, the Bible says in Philippians 2:14-15, “Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world.”
I would like to challenge you to embrace this season without grumbling by ending each day with a list of ten good things that happened – and don’t repeat any of them in your list the next day. God makes all things new each day. How has He blessed you today?
