E121-Stepping Stones


Listen Later

“Some people, we meet for only a brief moment ... but they may be the stepping stone for turning life-changing corners in our future.”

Have you ever noticed that God will bring you out of a situation or relationship that you should no longer be in whether you like it or not?

He literally will bring you out of it kicking and screaming if necessary. Sometimes, things get really ugly until they get better.

Be flexible enough to adapt for the better and bend without breaking. Thank God for every ending and beginning phase of your life. He is there with us in every step we take!

For many reasons, there may be people or places that you do not want to let go of at the time God decides it is time. Everything has a season in our lives even though we get attached to many people and places. These people and places become like glow-worms for us and we cling to them. We truly only need to hang onto God.

Reflect back on some of the times in your life, then, look at the way things are now. You would not be where you are today if God had not pulled you away from people and situations that were out of season for your life.

In the future, you may even cross paths with people from your past. When that occurs, you may notice how different the tone of the moment has changed into. You will thank God for answering your prayers according to His perfect plan.

Do you recall the stepping stones in your life and how do you feel about them?

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to Love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.
