Seasons Change

Jeremiah 5: 22, 23 says But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away.  They do not say to themselves, ‘Let us fear the Lord our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’
It’s plain stubbornness and rebellion when we do not remind ourselves of certain truths:
Seasons of drought end when the rains come.  And they do come…
Seasons of dormant and apparently dead growth give way to spring blooms.
Seasons of planting, though nothing is seen for a while, produces a harvest.
Seasons of intense heat are forgotten when the cool breezes blow.
There is a way to quiet our souls and reminds ourselves to not fear, and that is to realize that the Lord of the seasons is aware, he is in control, and all the colors of the seasons will give way to the next…
Because he set it up that way.
