| In
the Bible, Solomon lists twenty-eight different seasons in life. Here
they are: 'A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a
time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down
and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to
grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to
gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to
search and a time to stop searching. A time to keep and a time to throw
away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time
to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time
for peace' (Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 NLT). God determines each of your life's
seasons. The Psalmist said, 'My times are in Thy hand...' (Psalms 31:15
AMP). So what should you do when you enter a new season of life? Reach
for the Holy Spirit's help because He's a 'Counsellor'. Jesus told His
disciples, 'I will ask the Father, and He will give you another
Counsellor to be with you forever.' When you need an advisor because
you're not sure what to do or which way to go, the Holy Spirit is
available to guide you. That means you must be sensitive when He
highlights a particular Scripture you're reading, or plants a persistent
thought or idea in your mind that won't go away, or speaks to you
through a friend. You're not alone, unless you want to be. Just consult
the 'Counsellor' within you.
