Life's Seasons

A good friend of mine (Lorraine) shared recently about life's seasons:
There is a season for being stretched in harsh conditions (winter), shedding off the dead-weight of our lives (fall), growth (spring) and thanksgiving (summer)
The main theme is trusting in God's plan and timing for our lives. Just as God knows the needs of our ecosystem and has perfectly timed the seasons, He also knows our needs and has a purpose for each part of our life.

I find this analogy very powerful in helping me keep my focus. The idea of focus brings to mind the passage from the Bible I just finished reading. In Proverbs, chapter 4, verses 10-27, the father says to the child:
Pay attention, my child, to what I say. Listen carefully. Don't lose sight of my words. Let them penetrate deep within your heart, for they bring life and radiant health to anyone who discovers their meaning.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do.

Avoid all perverse talk; stay far from corrupt speech.
Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark out a straight path for your feet; then stick to the path and stay safe. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil.
Many of us today lack focus. Yes, we may be focused on anything at any given time. But very often, it's difficult to live consistently with our long term vision.
