Five Minute Friday—Season

Well, as Christian bloggers, I do not know who would not think of Ecclesiastes 3 with this prompt. It truly is one of my favorite chapters in Scripture; To everything there is a season… Although I thought of 2 Timothy 4:2: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season.

So the question for myself is—how can I be prepared in and out of season? What exactly does this look like? Golly, sometimes I am not even prepared to make dinner for us at the last hour! Yet when I think on this verse, I am reminded to always have my eye and thought toward Jesus. I know then He will establish my thoughts, for He promises that. I find it a wonderful thing to keep myself focused on Jesus, yet I fail to do just that.

I do like being prepared though, i.e. prepared for the day, putting things in order before I need them, and planning ahead. Though I may not always know just what I am going to prepare for supper one night, I endeavor to keep my eye on Jesus. For He shall keep me prepared both in and out of season by His good grace and love towards us, if we would just turn to Him. Glory!

  1. I’m not good at being prepared to make dinner either! Good admonishment to be always be prepared to give glory to God and to speak as he directs me. Visiting from FMF#20

  3. I honestly didn’t even think of either passage. All I considered was how the seasons of life all teach us something. Are we thankful for what we learn? It’s fun reading the takes of others on the same word. 🙂 FMF24

  4. With a Corgi in your lap

    you have found the road to grace

    with no need for Android app,

    but you are still lacking space

    for a Corgi is not small

    (a quite large dog on legs quite short),

    so it’s not amiss to call

    for help that you may fast abort

    the cutting off of circulation

    to lower extremities,

    which may result in situation

    that is surely not to please,

    so rise, and test legs newly numb

    while Corgi watches, playing dumb.
