Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven
Have you ever gotten a feeling that something you’ve been doing for a long time needs to change?
Maybe there’s something that you’ve enjoyed doing for a very long time. It was always a pleasure for you, but now it seems like a chore. Sometimes you even dread it.
Sometimes it’s just our flesh wanting to “scratch an itch”. We get bored and want change. It’s a normal human trait.
But there are times when this is just part of a changing of seasons in our life. We have worked through one season and we’re heading into another season. When this happens, we will “lose the grace” for something that we have done for a long time without ever even thinking about it.
But now it suddenly feels empty, frustrating, boring and lifeless to us. Sometimes God will bring this about in us to cause us to become uncomfortable with where we are, because He wants to move us into something new!
If we stay comfortable where we’re at, we will most likely never move on to new things.
Sometimes it can be tough to tell if we’re “scratching an itch” or if our grace has run out for something because God is moving us into a new season of our life. But as we grow closer to God and learn His ways, it gets easier over time.
Remember… there is a season and a purpose for everything under heaven.
