Weathering Changes In The Weather

Saturday November 24, 2018

Weather changes. The days grow shorter.  Many of us find it challenging to live well in the middle of these changes.  Our energy levels seem to decrease with the decline in the number of hours of sunlight.  It may seem more difficult to complete everyday tasks.  We struggle with our emotions.  Some of us work harder not to slip into depression.  God who is in control of all seasons wants to reassure us of His unfailing love, particularly when we face overwhelming circumstances.


 The faithful love of the Lord never ends!  His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. (Lamentations 3:22-23, James 1:17 NLT)

We are loved by God through every season.  God doesn’t change just because the weather and our feelings change.  We are precious to God.  He will not leave us to walk through difficult times alone.  He is close at hand and reassures us of His presence with us in uncertain times. 

May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ.  (2 Thessalonians 3:5 NLT)
Our challenge is to look beyond the dullness of the day and ask God to show us His plan to bring light and life into our day.  We don’t have to pretend that we feel strong, but we need to behave in ways that affirm our trust in God’s promises. 

God says: “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.  (2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT)
Prayer:  Loving God, Thank you that You are a steady and dependable friend during changing seasons.  Help me to look to You for light in my dark moments and rely on Your power to overcome my weaknesses.  Amen
