A Season for Everything

A Season for Everything

When winter sets in, a bear takes shelter and hides from it. They go into a deep sleep and only emerges when the weather allows it again. In your life there are also seasons where I hide you from others and draw you into the secret place to spend time with me. Those seasons have a very specific purpose My child and they are there so that you can grow strong and learn to walk.
A new-born baby does not know how to walk when it is born, but through loving care it learns all the basic skills to become an adult one day. It is the same in your spiritual walk with Me. You start out as a babe and you learn to walk out your calling day by day, but what you do not realize is that it is in the times of hiding that you become strong and confident, not in the times when you run ahead and do the work of the ministry.
Those times when you run ahead, you are ploughing and sowing into the soil of your life, but the times you spend with me, you are nurturing the seeds and watering them, so do not think that the one can survive without the other. Go and sow your seeds, but take the time to come and water them and as you do, I will make them into big trees that will bring shelter for My people to come and rest from the heat and the cold, says the Lord.
