Seasons

"All of my life, in every season you are still God, I have a reason to live- I have a reason to worship" -the desert song by Hillsong

These words have really meant a lot to me in the past few days. I have heard this specific song before, and I had listened to the words but they never affected me the way the do now.
Life is full of the unknown, it's full of seasons. Seasons of joy, and seasons of sorrow. Like Ecclesiastes says : "There is a time for everything."
I haven't gone through anything huge quite yet in my life, but sometimes even the little things and other people's lives affect you. I've been feeling sick for quite a while now, and the unknown is sometimes just enough to drive me insane. I've always been a worrier, so that in itself doesn't make things any better! It's also that I have to place my life into other people's hands, my husband, doctors, nurses- people that are human! And sometimes that's hard! Okay, it's almost always hard!

A verse that has always meant so much to me, but up until now don't think I've fully understood is Pslam 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God!"
This verse and that song I mentioned earlier have really put things into perspective for me.
I know who God is, I know what he's done for me, I know that he is all powerful, all knowing, in control, compassionate, loving, that he hates sin, and that he delights to see people come to know him. I know that he is trustworthy, that he holds all my days in the palm of his hand.
In all of life's mountains and valleys that I go through, or you go through, God stays the same. He never changes, he is the same yesterday, today and forever! Even when life hurts- he is still GOD. And all I have to do is know that.
When I'm faced with unknown circumstances-all I need to know is that God is God- he is control.
And because God is who he is everyday, everyday I have a reason to live: HIM. And I have a reason to worship: HIM.

Yes, life is hard and sometimes in a Worldly perspective unfair- but let's not forget that this world is not our home and that we have something so much greater to look forward to.
