Season of change

1 Thessalonians 5:1-2   But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

I have noticed a common line in many conversations with people these days. Everyone is taking notice of the crazy weather; the confused seasons, and the violent destructive storms year round. The weather is unpredictable, inescapable, and unavoidable. We all are at the mercy of the One who controls it; Psalms 147:15-18 He sends out His command to the earth; His word runs very swiftly. He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes; He casts out His hail like morsels; Who can stand before His cold? He sends out His word and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow. The creation and control of all things on earth are undeniable evidences of God set before us every day.

Paul is speaking in these verses in Thessalonians of the season of Christ’s return, and the unpredictability of it. There is so much prophecy being preached right now, and I can not argue rightfully so. In verses 4 & 5 we that rest in Salvation are assured of that peace that lies in that coming day. “But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.  You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.” Paul urges us to live righteously though because of the uncertainty of the coming day and continue to edify each other and share what we possess through Christ. If all these signs stir questions in your heart, humble yourself and seek God through the grace he has provided you through the sacrifice of His Son to pay for your sins. That day is coming, and it is never too late, until it is.

He came, He died, He arose, He ascended, He is coming back.
