Grown Up Conversations – October 14

It’s October – Embrace the seasons of life – it’s only a season.

Quote: “God prunes us when He is about to take us into a new season of growth and expansion.”

No matter how long your favourite season last, we know that it will come to an end. We must prepare to move right into the new season whether it’s your favourite or not.

Going into the unknown always brings about a certain amount of anxiety but Psalms 91 reassures us that we are never alone. God holds all of our tomorrows.

Psalm 91 Easy-to-Read Version

You can go to God Most High to hide. You can go to God All-Powerful for protection.

I say to the Lord, “You are my place of safety, my fortress. My God, I trust in you.” God will save you from hidden dangers and from deadly diseases.

You can go to him for protection. He will cover you like a bird spreading its wings over its babies. You can trust him to surround and protect you like a shield.

You will have nothing to fear at night and no need to be afraid of enemy arrows during the day. You will have no fear of diseases that come in the dark or terrible suffering that comes at noon.

A thousand people may fall dead at your side or ten thousand right beside you, but nothing bad will happen to you! All you will have to do is watch, and you will see that the wicked are punished.

You trust in the Lord for protection. You have made God Most High your place of safety. So nothing bad will happen to you. No diseases will come near your home.

He will command his angels to protect you wherever you go. Their hands will catch you so that you will not hit your foot on a rock. You will have power to trample on lions and poisonous snakes.

The Lord says, “If someone trusts me, I will save them. I will protect my followers who call to me for help. When my followers call to me, I will answer them. I will be with them when they are in trouble. I will rescue them and honor them. I will give my followers a long life and show them my power to save.”

The End

Thought to ponder:

Do not try to hold on to a past season in your life. Seasons change to change you. There’s purpose in every season. Remember, we are more capable than we think.
