From the beginning, God knew that man would fall, and that sin would separate Him from His creation. One could ask why God would even create man if He knew this would happen. The answer is that from the beginning, God had a plan. The cross was going to happen. God does not decide before we are born if we go to heaven or hell, but His desire is that we all go to heaven. Too many people live their life by predestination, but the reality is that we all have choices. God knows, but we are not pawns in his game. We make it to heaven because of the choices we make. God decided in advance; now, what do you decide? God’s grace is available to us all. We all have the opportunity, but it is up to us to choose it.

It is human nature that makes us want to be in control. This goes back to the fall of man in the garden, where God removed dominion as punishment. We live in a society that preaches antiauthority, and too often this mirrors what happens in the spiritual world. To respond to God, we have to yield control. The enemy of our salvation is not the devil but our pride. That pride will get in the way of the blessing God wants to give us. There are a lot of prideful people that will go to Hell while sitting on a church pew. We must give over control to God.

Some things God gives us are for that moment, and other things are timeless. God gives us grace to bridge the gap between what we have and need. None of us can do it on our own, and He is looking for us to surrender all that we have to Him so he can finish it. God knows enough about us to know that none of us have enough to finish it. The question is, do we want to finish it? God has the difference between our ability to finish and our desire to finish. God gives this grace a little at a time; it is just enough for what we need today. We cannot handle all of it at one time, so He parcels it out in just the right amount we need each day.

We talk a lot about seasons: Baseball Season, Hunting Season, and the Holiday season. Seasons are temporary, and if it will happen again next year. We often describe portions of life as a season. Some are joyful and pleasant, but others are painful and difficult. Fall marks the change of time between Summer and Winter. Temperatures drop, days get shorter, and the leaves change colors and fall from the trees. By the calendar, the seasons only last about three months. The leafless trees of late fall and winter will bud next spring and put on new growth.

Some of us find ourselves in the fall of life. Things seem to be in decline, and we have lost ground from where we once were. The enemy wants to tell us our season is permanent and that we will not recover. However, like baseball or hunting season, life’s seasons are only temporary, but if we are not careful, they can last for a long time. God does not want us to live in life’s fall seasons. He wants us to get back up and prosper again.
