IN A HURRY
By Sally I. Kennedy
September 25, 2010

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under
heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1

Things can change in a hurry. The first week of September, the skinny
white-trunked aspen trees were very green due to a long wet summer
season. Three days later, they were tinged with yellow. In less than a
week, they were a mass of gold. What a majestic sight!

The climate, the length of daylight hours, the temperature, all
contributed to what seemed like a quick change. In reality, all these
things took time for the leaf color change to occur.

Maybe you, or someone you know, is in a not-so-great place, and can't
see the light at the end of the tunnel. It seems to go on forever,
like it's never going to change. Change it will, though. Everything
has a season. Nothing is forever, except the love of God. The bible
tells us, in the book of Psalms, the love of the Lord endures forever.

While waiting for things to change, reading the Psalms can give us
comfort, and reassure us that there is a God who loves us and is very
present with us. Never give up! There's a saying, it's always
darkest just before dawn. Hang in, and hold on to the Lord, and to His
promises. Search the scriptures, and find verses that speak to you
and your situation.

Things will change, in God's perfect timing. God is always busy
networking, getting people and situations in place, and then – voila!
It seems things have turned around in such a hurry. But we can know
God's been there all along, taking care that His perfect planning will
result in just the right timing. We can be so thankful that God has
our good in mind, just because He loves us.
That is good news.
