Ecclesiastes 3:1
Last night we talked about three things that can help us be intentional about the seasons in our lives. Here they are again, along with some questions for your own personal prayer and reflection.
1. Every season has its difficulties
- Paul says in Philippians 4:12-13 that " I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. 13 For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength."
- How can you learn to be content in every season of your life? How might a stronger relationship with Christ help you?
2. Every season has its purpose
- Sometimes we are tempted to think more about the future and what we hope it will be than to see the purpose in the season we are in at the moment.
- What purpose might God be trying to achieve in the current season of life you are in?
"We can't always choose our season, but we can always choose our response." -Steven Furtick
3. Days are long, but the years are short
- It can feel like there is no end in sight to difficult seasons sometimes, but if we wish away the days, we will regret missed opportunities.
- What is something you can start doing, right now, to make the most of your time in middle/high school and impact your friends for Christ?
God, I know you are sovereign and you have a plan that is better and grander than what I can see. Forgive me for not trusting you with my whole life and being discontent in the season I am in sometimes. Help me to make the most of every opportunity I have right now. Show me your purpose for this season of my life. I surrender to your will.
