Scripture
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NIV)

This one is for the young girls wishing they could catch the eye of their crush, young women struggling through college, working ladies trying to make ends meet, hopeful mothers struggling with fertility, mommas whose kids are moving out and women looking past their careers with anxiety for the future: there is a time for everything.

 

It isn’t an easy promise to sit with. Anger and frustration bubble to the surface. Why isn’t that time now?! Why can’t God and I sync calendars and get on the same page? I’m ready!

 

But God has made room for every activity under the heavens. You will experience seasons of love, growth, success and comfort. He simply asks you to trust His timing. If you force the season upon your life, it will not bear the bounty of God’s timing. You will toil and struggle for something not yet ripe, and it will be bitter and unsatisfying.

 

Even as you trust in God and wait for the season to arrive, you will face anger and frustration. In these moments, know that God hears your cries and whispers back with words of kindness and healing. He knows the desires of your heart, and He finds great joy in fulfilling them. Just you wait.
