Episode 225: Four Kingdom Seasons
As we embark on a new year, let's reflect on four distinct spiritual seasons that shape our faith journey. Drawing wisdom from Joshua 5, we're reminded of the Season of Purging, where God lovingly disciplines us to remove doubt and unbelief. This challenging time prepares us for the promised land ahead. Next, we enter a Season of Consecration, symbolized by the Israelites' males circumcision before attempting to in inherit the land of promise. Here, we're called to intentionally set ourselves apart for God's purposes, allowing Him to heal our wounds and strengthen our faith. The Season of Contemplation follows, where we pause to remember God's faithfulness, just as the Israelites celebrated Passover before conquering Jericho. Finally, we reach the Season of Receiving, where we enjoy the fruits of our spiritual labor and God's promises. These seasons remind us that our journey with God is dynamic, purposeful, and ultimately rewarding. As we navigate these phases, let's embrace each season with patience and faith, knowing that God is shaping us for His glory.
