Do You See His Hand in This Season?


Today’s Scripture Reading: Colossians 1:9–23
Key Verse: Colossians 1:13


He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the
kingdom of the Son of His love.


You have come out of the world and separated yourself from your old ways
and the darkness that ruled over you. Yet in all of that, an aloneness
that has settled around you. You just do not feel like yourself. You are
in a state of uncertainty.

Take courage; you are not supposed to feel like yourself in your
position. Things really are different. God has moved you away from all
the things you used to depend upon because you are in a new season.

God pulled you out of the world and into the kingdom. In the world, a lot
of things used to thrill you temporarily. Those were plots of the devil.
He always will entice your flesh with something that appears to be
enjoyable—until he has you hooked. Only then does he expose it for what
it really is.

Our “problem” is that we have moved far and away from the devil’s kingdom
and into God’s kingdom where there is only one “ride,” and it does not
appeal to our flesh.

Only one attraction exists in the kingdom of God, and that is God
Himself. Our challenge is to turn away from other attractions to be alone
with Him. God does not intend for you to feel close to a lot of people in
this season. He does not want people who do not have a clue about
eternity or the kingdom speaking into your life. Their godless chatter
will only contaminate the word He is speaking to you.

Do not be concerned. Keep your faith in this “in-between” time. God’s
kingdom purposes will surely be accomplished in your life. Pray this
prayer with me right now:


Today's Prayer:


Jesus, I admit that I have not liked feeling alone. But now that I see
Your hand in this season, I will trust You to see me through. Let me grow
ever closer to You.
