Good Morning Sunshine! Are you Seasoned or Seasonal? 

2 Corinthians 5:7 ~ “For we live by faith, not by sight.”

I have a question for you. Is your Faith Seasoned (means you are sure of it every day) or Is your Faith Seasonal (changes with the seasons, your up and downs, your highs and lows)? 

Your Faith should Not be based on your moods (emotions)! There is no on and off button attached to your Faith! You should Not still be operating on just the mustard seed amount of faith. (Matthew 17:20 KJV, “And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.”)

Here in Louisiana we can experience every weather season in one day, in the morning you have winter, mid morning you have spring early afternoon you have summer and in the evening you have fall! There are so many ups and downs that you go through to get to your next destination, but God wants you to enjoy the journey while you’re going! But even with this your Faith should not change, it should be anchored in the Lord! 

We quote this scripture all the time, “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1). And we love to say this also, Speak those things that be not as though they were (Romans 4:17), Lord Jesus! But we find it hard to wait on the “Be Not” Part, but this is when and where your Faith needs to kick in and then you need to believe that it will happen, because God said so and He put it in you in the first place. 

Oh, ye of little faith, where is your faith? You should have Faith in God, without complaining! Don’t be like Job wife (Job 2:9), and you only want to praise God and have faith when things are good and when they are bad, you forget all about his promises! You are to have Faith in God all of the time! God knows everything! And everything that God made knows how to live and adjust to the seasons and not die, except for us, (the ones He made in His image)!  I want you to keep your Faith no matter what may not or may come! Know that the seed has been planted, and it’s working and in not too many more days from now, you will see a bud bloom sprouting up from the ground! 

Hebrews 11:6 AMP, “But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.”

Let’s Pray:

Thank You Father! Father open my eyes, not to see the world more clearly, but to see You more clearly and to be aware of my constant need You, Your Grace, Your Strength, and Your Power working through me even the toughest days, my Faith is increasing. Father open my eyes to see you working around me and in me and to know that nothing happens by accident and that You have orchestrated every day of my life. Father help me to trust in what I cannot see and believe in Your invisible Presence for everything! Help me to keep my focus on You in this season. Please forgive me for giving too much time and attention to other things, and for looking to other people before coming to you first. Thank You for Your reminder that both in seasons of celebration and in seasons of brokenness, you’re still with me, You will never leave or forsake me, no matter what the season may or may not bring! Thank You for surrounding me with Your favor as a shield and for keeping we safe in Your care. Today, I choose to press in close to you today, that You may be close to me! I will keep you first in my heart and life. In the Name of Jesus Christ. Amen! 

Blessings…
