God's CHANGE

Ecclesiastes 3:2
"A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;"

In our series titled; Seasons of Life we are starting with the Flavors of Fall. We are learning, from the prophet Daniel; GOD "changeth the times and the seasons." As things change we have to recognize that God's hand is at work making things CHANGE.

And everyone knows it; the 1965 hit song "written" by Pete Seeger was released called "Turn! Turn! Turn!" The lyrics consist of the first eight verses of the third chapter of the biblical Book of Ecclesiastes. Which we are studying this week. Now every hippie and pop culture mavin knows these verses by heart even if they have never picked up the Holy Bible in their life.

"To every thing there is a SEASON, and a TIME to every purpose under the heaven:" All through our lives we are faced with different SEASONS and TIME is always changing. This is by God's design. We need to find our purpose in God's plan. God's CHANGE. 

Today's verse; "A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;" Birth and death are extreme end of the spectrum with usually a fair amount of time in between. Many seasons can make up our lives. Each season has it's own character. Each has activities unique to that time of year. Enjoy them all. Planting in harvesting spans just a season or two. They come with their own responsibilities and needs; take care of them and make the most of them.

Life has it's seasons, enjoy them too. Times of change relationships, situations, circumstances all change. It's a lot about feelings. Where ever you are the feelings can match situation or be in contrast. We can be in multiple seasons at once. Life is complicated. Our challenge is to find our purpose in God's plan. God's CHANGE.

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...
