New Season

A popular song in praise & worship, It's a new season, it's a new Day, keeps running through my head the last few days. A fitting song for January. The premise of the song is simple……HOPE. HOPE for a better tomorrow. Seasons represent “newness” and “hope” for things to come. The Bible refers to seasons throughout…largely in connection with harvests and the ripening of the harvest. If we don’t have hope than we have very little, and our children have even less. Our vines are dead and withered and there is no harvest.
We must continually train our hearts to watch and listen for the Lord’s leading in our life. In essence we must continually HOPE. Only then can we truly be open vessels that the Lord can fill. If we think we have all the answers, all the resources, all the knowledge, all the prosperity, all the wealth then praying and hoping becomes a void and fruitless act. You could say it would be a “hopeless world”. God gave his Son so that we might have life and life more abundantly. A bountiful crop!
