Bible Verse of The Day – 11-10-21

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) 1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

Seasons of our lives come and go. We teach about this often.

Some seasons seem fantastic. Life feels effortless. Everything seems to be just right. And we enjoy it immensely.

Other seasons are difficult and it can be hard to make sense of them. Our emotions have us on a roller-coaster. Up one day, and down the next.

Most seasons like this will challenge us in many ways.

They will test our faith and our trust in God. They can cause us to become more introspective, examining our heart to check our standing in our relationship with Christ.

Most of all, they will test our character. They will show us (and others) who we really are.

That can be a bit scary, as we are forced to face ourselves.

But we don’t have to be afraid. We just need to be sure that our faith is anchored in God, not in the circumstances of our life.

As we learn to do that, those seemingly scary seasons become less and less scary, and more like learning sessions that strengthen us for the next trial that we face.

Romans 5:3-4 (NKJV) 3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.
