Are you in the right season of your life, or are you resisting the change God is leading you through? Pastor Donnie McClurkin delivers a powerful message on the importance of understanding and embracing the seasons of life. Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:1, he explains the difference between Kairos (divine timing) and Chronos (chronological time) and how recognizing God's perfect timing brings peace and direction.  What a beautiful reminder that just as nature shifts from one season to another, our lives are meant to change, grow, and evolve according to God's purpose. He also references Jeremiah 8:7 and Psalm 23, showing that God, as our Good Shepherd, is always leading us toward His perfect plan, even when we don't understand the path. No season is permanent. When we trust God's timing, we move from struggle to abundance, from uncertainty to divine success. Embrace the season you're in, knowing that God is working on everything for your good!

Life has a way of reminding us that nothing stays the same. One moment, you're celebrating a victory; the next, you're facing a trial you never saw coming. Seasons shift—sometimes expectedly, sometimes suddenly—but they always change. And whether we like it or not, we can't control them. But what if the changing seasons of life weren't meant to frustrate us but to shape us? What if every high and every low had a purpose far greater than what we can see? Welcome to The Daily. We go through the bible verse-by-verse, chapter-by-chapter, every single day. Our text today is Ecclesiastes 3:1-8. For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. — Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Whether we like it or not, life moves in seasons. And the seasons of life change. Thus, every time a season changes, we should be reminded of our mortality. We move from a desirable to an undesirable season, and we must all accept that we are confined to this world and to time, thus forced to deal with the change that happens. And as much as we want to alter the undesirable seasons, we can't. We must accept them, work through them, and trust God in them. But our life is not given to seasons to torment us but to teach, train, and hopefully prepare us about the coming return of the Lord and our eternity that will not end. Ultimately, every season—whether joyful or painful—serves a purpose beyond what we can see. God is sovereign over our time; the good times remind us of his blessings, and the hard times refine our faith. So, what do we do in the changing seasons? We trust. We endure. We grow. We learn to cling to the eternal with all we have. Because one day, the season of time itself will end, giving way to eternity, and all the changing seasons will make sense in the presence of the One who never changes. What season are you in right now? Are you in a time of joy or hardship, of building up or breaking down? No matter where you find yourself, one thing remains constant—God is sovereign over it all. But here's the bigger question: Are you ready for the season that never ends? Solomon reminds us that time is temporary, but eternity is not. And the truth is, without Jesus, eternity is a season of separation from God. But because of his love, Jesus came to rescue us—He lived, died, and rose again so that we could have eternal life with Him. So don't wait for a better season to come to Him. Today is the time and season for salvation. Surrender your life to Jesus, and step into the eternal hope that never fades. Will you trust Him today? If you are ready, write "I choose Jesus" below. And commit your life to living for him who lived all in for you. #SeasonsOfLife, #TrustGod, #EternalHope ASK THIS: What season of life are you currently in, and how is God using it to shape you? How do you typically respond to difficult seasons? Do you trust God or try to control them? What lessons has God taught you through past seasons of change? Are you prepared for eternity, the season that never ends? DO THIS: Write "I choose Jesus" in the comments if you're ready to trust Him and step into eternal hope. PRAY THIS: Lord, I trust You in every season, knowing You are sovereign over my time. Help me to grow in faith and embrace Your eternal plan. Amen. PLAY THIS: I Trust Jesus.

This sermon by Rev. Dr. Nicole Kirk reflects on the themes of winter, both as a literal season and a metaphor for the challenging phases of life. Drawing on the symbolism of the winter solstice, the message emphasizes the cyclical nature of life, the importance of introspection, and the quiet preparation for renewal and growth. It concludes with a call to embrace the "winters" of life as opportunities for clarity, healing, and rediscovery, reminding listeners of the enduring hope that spring will come again.

In this solo episode, I'm sharing my decade long experience working to heal my relationship with myself and specifically my body image. I share how I knew it was time to make a change, what I was feeling and doing during that time period, the negative rhetoric in our society around “the smaller the better” when it comes to women's bodies, and “less is more” when it comes to food, the small steps I took that led to bigger change, what I learned, and how I feel today.  Holiday gift guides  My Gift Guide: https://shopmy.us/haileydmiller/gift-guides Chairish  Tappan Collective  Morning quiet - using meditations from my oura ring or insight timer.

By the end of this summer, I knew my trains were not running at full speed. But what had happened? How did I get off course? Even ultra productive people can have seasons that get the better of them. I can't believe how much I accomplished in spite of feeling less productive.  It was one of those seasons where one project led to another and no other area of life helped the situation. 2024: The Year of Overcommitting It all started in February with Joey's condo needing new plumbing, which led to the perfect time to redo his shower. Then Abby's shower was suspected to have mold and that meant another bathroom remodel. And if we were opening that can of worms, then we wanted to add on an official bedroom for our giant toddler grandchild, Grayson. This kid needed a bigger bed and his own little apartment within his mom's apartment. And while we were doing all of that, it just made sense to give Abby a proper kitchen, minus an oven. Which meant we needed to upgrade our electrical panel for the house. All these projects were supposed to be completed in time for Greg and I's trip to Europe. But you know, permits and whatever, it kept getting delayed. So we decided to take care of all of Abby's stuff when we got back. Who wants to be in contact with a contractor while on vacation? Not me!  And then there was school demanding more of my time. And a little extra pressure from my family. I had started to do school work at the office because “little baby Grayson” now knows that if my car is home, Lovie is home. And normally Greg wouldn't care if I was not home because he'd be golfing. But due to shoulder surgery in December, he wasn't playing golf. Needless to say, everyone was verbal about noticing I wasn't home as much. I also may have had 3 classes this summer instead of 2 like I'd done in the past; I want to get through this PhD already! I like when my time is at my discretion. I had this productivity debt starting to accumulate and no time to make any of it up, even at work. I could not catch a break!  And believe it or not, we decided to do a little something to our own kitchen, treat Grayson to a playground set for his birthday, which obviously meant a fence, but first we had to take down a shed and a tree. And I was so excited when WOW Window Boxes were at Homearama, we got one of those, too! Like, who am I coordinating all of these projects that normally would have taken me 4 years? It felt good to take some things off the “some day list.” What I Did I give myself credit for prioritizing tasks this whole time and knowing what can wait. And nightly planning of the most important tasks that need to be accomplished the next day. I exercised planned neglect, like eating out during the kitchen “remodeling” in my kitchen. And ruthlessly going through my calendar. And once you have survived one of these challenging seasons, the trick is to reflect and realize how much stronger you are because of it. Realize the lessons. Blessings Upon reflection of this season, I was overwhelmed with the amount of blessings this season provided. I'm very blessed in my life and that is not lost on me. These were all blessings slowing me down and it's a season I'm happy to be coming out of so I can get back to being ultra productive.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® The Paper Solution® The Productive Home Solution Friday Workbox® Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?

Fr. Mike encourages us to never stop talking to God, even in the hardest seasons of our lives. Much like yesterday's readings, we're seeing a lot of pain and suffering the lives of our brothers and sisters, but we still have so much to hope for. Today's readings are Jeremiah 51, Lamentations 4-5, and Proverbs 18:9-12. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

God wants to take the broken pieces of your life and use them to create something good. Through this message, Pastor Rick teaches how God uses all the events of your life to shape you into the person he created you to be.

Fr. Mike emphasizes our title as children of God as we read about the tragedy of the Babylonian exile. Even in our lowest moments, God wants us to know that he has called us each by name and has called us his, because a good Father does not abandon his children. Today's readings are Isaiah 43-44, Ezekiel 4-5, and Proverbs 12:5-8. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.
