What happens when we don't let go?

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1 ESV)

We are familiar with seasons in our lives. There is a season when we are single. Maybe there is a season we are married. There is a season we are young, there is a season we are old. 

We have seasons spiritually as well. Whether or not you have "an official ministry", God has appointed work for you to right now in this season. He has blessings for you right now in this season too.  After some time, God may change our "job assignment" and we must be faithful to that calling. Easier said then done sometimes isn't it? Our fingers have a natural tendency to have a tight grip on the blessings we are currently enjoying.

There are a few problems when we do that. One is this:
If we do not let go of the season we are in when the time comes, we will not be free to grasp what God has for us in the next season.

Lord Jesus, may we always follow you, no matter the cost. Thank you for our blessings past and thank you for our blessings future. Amen.
