This popular Phrase comes from the Yolanda Adams morning show. But what does it mean? We should realize that life runs in cycles or seasons. Meaning we will have seasons of abundance as well as seasons of struggles. We must also understand that each season has its own purpose. No one likes to go through struggles, but it is during these times that our faith is tested. This season is not meant to destroy you, but rather to stretch you, jolt you out of your complancency or even to teach you and prepare you for the next sesason of your life. During this time we must plant wisely that which we would reap later. Our attitude should be one of confidence and expectancy.
Seasons of abundance are always welcome. But if we only experienced prospertity, we would become complacent and that would stifle our faith and our growth. If we only experienced sunshine and no rain, how would we know to call on the Lord's holy name? If we only experience happiness and no sadness, how could we attest to God's goodness?
So don't resent your seasons of struggle. Instead, you should rejoice because we know that all things work together for the good to those who love the Lord and who are called to his purpose. Rejoice, because you know that you are being prepared to walk into your God given destiny and we serve a God that is Able! And to end with another quote from the Yolanda Adams morning show, "Pray about Everything and Worry about Nothing!" Be Blessed.
Good stuff! That is the sign of a mature Christian when we can "glory in tribulation" It is the tough times that make us into better people and get to experience the grace of God. Our tough times are to help others when they are going through.
