ARE YOU READY FOR A NEW SEASON?

Colossians 3:23 (NLT) Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than people. 

As I walked through my yard this week I could sense in the air that Fall was upon us! With that said, I am sure all of you boot loving, jean wearing, pumpkin everything gals rejoiced! I love Fall too! 

I love working in my yard and seeing the blooms of so many beautiful flowers as a result of my gardening skills ( which by the way are not all that great) but I do enjoy it and the blooms make it even better! If you want to know the truth, often I wish I could have these blooms WITHOUT all the work. It would be so awesome if I could go out in the yard and enjoy all of my flower beds without  a single weed! (AH, yes the weeds). 

But would I really appreciate and enjoy the flowers as much if I had less invested in that beautiful bloom? The lesson I am teaching myself here is that the moments of blooming will come but it takes some investment. The seasons come and go and the flowers change with each new day. 

It's the same in our life. You can just sense when a new season is coming. You just feel like "something" is about to happen. You have prayed, you have cried, you have asked, you have trusted and you have believed. God is faithful and if we do all that we do unto Him, he will reward you and cause you to bloom so beautiful in His timing.

I have to desire the bloom in my life and desire the end result enough to put something into it. 

Matthew 6:33 (ESV) says But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will be added to you.

I know that God sees the beautiful bloom in us before we even recognize it. I know that God sees the outcome of each situation that you are facing and He has a great big plan that just might surprise you!  Let's work for the Lord, work to cultivate our hearts and lives for His glory. He will help us to pluck out the weeds and till the soil until His timing is made perfect and the beautiful blooms become a blessing! 

Lord, we thank you for your Word that encourages our hearts. Lord, we thank you that you are concerned about our every step and we pray that we bloom for your glory and in your timing. 

Thank you so much for reading today! I hope you were encouraged in your daily walk.
