God Is Preparing You for a New Season - Conclusion:

Lastly, you must understand that God has something planned for you, and if you're not living in the fulfillment of His plan for you, then now is the season of preparation. Rest assured, you're not alone. All throughout the Bible, God has set seasons and times for everything. From Genesis to Revelation, God shows us what He does, what He has done, and what will be done. We all go through times like this. The Bible tells us that even Jesus needed time to grow and increase in wisdom, stature and in years before He was ready to make a global impact through His three-year ministry. It seems that many people don't really know themselves and understand why they do what they do. Self-deception is easy to fall into, and one of the hardest things to face. But when we are willing to face the truth about ourselves and examine our motives, God will help us change for the better and get on track with His will for our lives. Keep in mind that God has amazing plans for your life, in which He wants you to fulfill your dreams and live a life of blessing, hope and promise. “I know that whatever God does, It shall be forever. Nothing can be added to it, And nothing taken from it. God does it, that men should fear before Him. That which is has already been, And what is to be has already been; And God requires an account of what is past’ Ecclesiastes 3:14-15 (NKJV).

When you keep one foot where you are while the other foot stretches toward someplace new, you will eventually lose your footing and fall over. God wants us to trust Him by doing what He wants us to do and going where He wants us to go. God gives us these seasons to build up and sanctify us. We all endure most of all of these seasons because God wills us to go through that which He has laid upon our lives. Whatever season you are in, it’s for a reason. We must learn to let go of what we have before we take hold of something new and learn to rely on God to meet all our needs. Before we can move forward into a new thing, we usually have to let go of something we've been doing awhile. In all circumstances, God sets forth season after season just as the flowers grow and the leaves fall. God does what He does without us knowing the entire meaning of it all. God makes everything in season beautiful, even in the darkest of seasons. Our fears tell us that we cannot manage this difficult season, in turn, we should give up. God nudges us outside of our comfort zones toward unfamiliar experiences to encourage us to rely on Him. “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things” Philippians 4:8 (NKJV).

All seasons of life until eternal life are part of living out God’s plan for our lives. There is no telling when good things or terrible things will happen. For each season we learn what we are supposed to learn and do what we are supposed to do. “Season” figuratively expresses the changing stages of our lives as the way of life as we know it according to how God has arranged them. New beginnings bud around you and within you every day. You don’t need to wait for a clean slate. To help you cling to the promise of God’s restoration, God is in the business of making all things new. His healing brings restoration beyond understanding, no matter where you come from or what you’ve done. Our life is for God and His kingdom. As we should keep our minds above rather than on this earth. God wants to give you a greater vision of who He is and the plans He has for you. Satan's goal is to use guilt, insecurity and fears to keep us from growing and living a full, joyful life. You will get there as long as you are willing to do your part and trust God to do His part. Seasons have their beginnings and endings and are all to be lived out. We should expect this cycle and intentionally live each part of God’s plan in this life under heaven until we are in heaven where there is only an eternal day. And the more you lean on and trust in Him through that process, the sooner you'll be ready for whatever He has prepared for you.“Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him” Colossians 3:9-10 (NKJV).
