Weathering Changes In The Weather

Weather changes.  The days grow shorter. Many of us are challenged to live well in the middle of these darker days.  Our energy levels appear to decrease with the decline in hours of sunlight.  It may seem more difficult to complete everyday tasks.  We struggle with our emotions.  Some of us work harder not to slip into depression.  God, who is in control of all seasons, wants to reassure us of His unfailing love particularly when overwhelming circumstances challenge us. 

We are loved by God through every season.  God doesn’t change just because the weather and our feelings change.  We are precious to God.  He will not leave us to walk through difficult times alone.  He is close at hand and reassures us of His presence with us in uncertain times.  

On these days our task is to look beyond the dullness of the day and ask God to show us His plan to bring light and life into our day.  We don’t have to pretend that we feel strong, but we need to behave in ways that affirm our trust in God’s promises.  

God says: “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.  (2 Corinthians 12:9 NLT)

Prayer:  Loving God, Thank you that You are a steady and dependable friend during changing seasons.  Help me to rely on Your power to overcome my weaknesses and look to You for light in any dark moments.  Amen
