Ecclesiastes reminds us that life is not random, it moves according to God’s order, in seasons. Every season, whether joyful or challenging, carries meaning when placed in His hands. Some seasons are filled with clarity and growth, while others feel quiet, or uncertain. God is with us in every season, good or bad. God is present in the waiting just as much as He is in the moving moments. We have to seek Him and His presence.
Often, we struggle most when we don’t understand why we’re in a particular season. We may feel behind, overlooked, or tempted to compare our journey to others. Ecclesiastes invites us to look at the bigger picture and instead trust God’s wisdom over our own and to trust his timing. What feels slow to us may be God strengthening our character. What feels like loss may be God making room for something new. He is faithful and is always working in our good to open new doors, new blessings and growth in our walk.
When we accept the season we’re in, we learn to walk with God. Peace grows when we stop, accept the season and begin asking God to meet us in it, to use us and to grow us from it.
No season lasts forever, but every season matters. When placed in God’s hands, each one becomes part of a greater story, one He is faithfully writing for your good and His glory. Trust God’s timing in your life. Every season has purpose, and God is working faithfully in you and through you.
Father God, thank You for being present over every season of my life. Help me trust You when the days feel uncertain and when the timing doesn’t make sense to me. Teach me to rest in Your wisdom and remain faithful in every moment, whether I am planting, waiting, or harvesting. I surrender this season to You, believing You are working all things for good. Amen.
For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NLT)
