SEASONS HAPPEN
If you observe a tree year round, you will notice that its appearance will change depending on the season that it is in. In the winter season, a tree will become barren and lifeless due to the climate change. This is a dry season for the tree, yet this dormancy period is necessary as a time of rest. In the spring season, the spring rain will arrive and buds will appear as the tree will begin to blossom, flourish, and leaves will begin to grow. The fruit bearing trees will begin to grow fruit. In the summer season the tree will become healthy and vibrant. The sun will cause the tree to thrive and flourish. In the fall season, the colors of the leaves will begin to change as the tree goes through a time of transition and preparation for the winter season.
Trees do not usually grow continuously throughout the year, but mostly have spurts of active expansion followed by periods of rest. Just as seasons are necessary in the natural, we must also go through seasons in our lives spiritually. It is imperative that we learn how to adjust to the season that we are in. The book of 1 Chronicles 12:32 tells us that the sons of Issachar discerned the times and the seasons that they were living in.
The Lord says; to those of you who are in a winter season, rejoice in this cold, dry season, because your spring season is just ahead. This desert place is the training ground that will launch you into a season of fruitfulness. Do not despise this time of desolation, but trust Me for the days to come. Although you may feel as if the heavens are brass and your voice is not being heard, press in for the greater victory which lies ahead. This is a time of preparation and just as the sons of Issachar knew how to discern the times and seasons for the people, you will also learn how to walk in discernment. Spend your time wisely in this season. Spend time with Me, and you will soon come back into the times of refreshing. Trust Me in those times of barrenness. Things may not appear as you expected, but recognize the importance of every season of your life. Don't rebel in times of change, but rather stay focused and learn how to be content in every situation. Allow Me to restructure your life as you go through these adjustments.
Stay in My timing. Don't try to birth something out of its due season or it will become an Ishmael. I will bring life in those winter seasons when things seem dead all around you. I will bring growth in the spring seasons and everything will come into full bloom. I will bring My glory in those summer seasons to revive and refresh you. I will bring changes in those fall seasons to prepare you for your advancement. Learn to recognize what I am doing in every season so that you will be content and able to move forward. Change is always necessary for your spiritual growth. There are lessons to be learned, and changes to be made that are necessary for your journey in every season. Do not fear change. This is the time to embark on new adventures and enter new dimensions in My glory as you submit to the time and season that I have placed you in says the Lord.
Genesis 8:22
"While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer and day and night shall not cease."
Ecclesiates 3:1
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven.
Isaiah 35:1-2
The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing.

This was a good reminder, you don't stay in a season forever. And while some seasons may seem hard, the seasons bring forth the fruit or growth necessary for that season when we submit to God in it. Thank you for the word of encouragement.
