Fantastic Friday #339- Season

Season

19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said:
“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
    wisdom and power are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;
    he deposes kings and raises up others.
He gives wisdom to the wise
    and knowledge to the discerning.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
    he knows what lies in darkness,
    and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, God of my ancestors:
    You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
    you have made known to us the dream of the king.” Daniel 2:19-23

We all go through different seasons of life. Sometimes those seasons are hard, and sometimes these seasons are refreshing.  It is interesting that when we go through these seasons, how we can try and control what is going on our life.  The same thing happens in our society with leaders; we go through many changes when a leader is elected, and sometimes these seasons can be very hard for many people.  One thing we need to remember is that God is in charge of the changing seasons.  Just like our earth changes from summer, to fall, to winter, to spring(some people say we actually have two seasons in Texas, summer and the 2 weeks in between), we also change personally during the seasons of our life.  The picture of going from something hard to something refreshing is a great visual of the great reward God wants for us.  So remember, as you look at the leaders in our country and the seasons we go through personally, God is in control of this season and will eventually reveal His glory.

Have a great weekend.
