Walking around our yard and neighborhood, I have been noticing many green pine cones falling from the trees. I asked my husband, “Is this ‘dropping’ season?” In many parts of the country, leaves will soon be changing color and “dropping” from the trees. Acorns are “dropping,” as well. Nature is preparing for the seasonal change. Are we paying attention?
What changes are happening in your life? Is God a part of your daily life or has there been a “dropping” season with God? Maybe you are reflecting and thinking it is time to get rid of some bad habits so it is “dropping” season for those habits. Maybe you have too much on your plate and it is time to re-prioritize and begin “dropping” some activities. Maybe you have started a new bible study at church, like my mom, and you have to “drop” that favorite television show in order to attend. Maybe you have built up a list of excuses as to why you cannot make it to church on Sundays. Is it time to “drop” the excuses and get back to worshipping God on Sunday?
We all need to take a moment, reflect, prioritize, clean up areas of our life and begin the “dropping” process. Let the season begin today.
Hebrews 12:1b-2: “Let us lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”
