Sometimes we can really be hasty in moving on to the next season. We desire more and something else other than where we are today. When we do not like the season we have today, we rush through it, forgetting that he who hastes his feet misses his way (Proverbs 19:2).
Every season has its own highs and lows. There's no need to move fast and go to the next before its due time. This season has its own purpose, you're meant to stay there and you will see why when you begin to search for the reason. Because whatever season the Lord gives you, it is always meant to serve a purpose and not a waste of time.
It's not to make you stagnant, it's not to punish you, nor to deprive you of good things. You staying there doesn't mean rejection or neglect from the Lord. Actually, He sees you best there today, you are there for your own good and for the glory of God. Instead of asking God to change your situation, ask Him to change your perspective, your heart, and your mind in that situation.
Be ready because He will give you the wisdom and courage to know your purpose and obey excellently according to His will. You might not see it yet today but believe that there's something for you. In that season where you feel like you're not moving or growing, seek the Lord and His will. Seek your purpose from Him, and once you find it, nothing can stop you to shine.
And if ever you've already gone through a season where you haven't found the true purpose yet or the reason why you had to go through that, or that you just felt like you wasted it away, be still. When you went through that situation, you might have not known that you were used to blessing others. And in the future, your history is going to be an inspiring story for others to see the goodness of God.
Lessons and growth from a certain season are not limited in their timeline. They aren't stuck and boxed up in the past. It can always be used to reveal or confirm the blessings for your present and future seasons, which can also be extended for other people's season.
Revisit them and remember how God blessed you and redeemed you from the things you once thought are going to drown you. When you realize the kind of God that you have, you will see that there is more to your past that you can still learn and realize today and in the future.
Our God is a good God. And He gives us seasons that will always be significant in our lifetime. Stay still, you never went through a wasted season, and you won't.
Lamentations 3:25: The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.
