Post-Hibernation!

It has been a long time since I have last post but I feel as if the Lord has put something profound on my heart recently. So hold on tight :)

First, I want you to first think of your favorite animal that hibernates. Okay got it? Mine is a chipmunk! Second, why do these animals hibernate? Answer! The most notorious reasons is that they are conserving energy and surviving the cold winter months where there is limited food supply.

Now, think about your relationship with God. Are you in a hibernating season? A season in which you make every possible excuse to avoid talking about Him? Or maybe you are in a season in which you feel hopeless, never satisfied resorting to worldly material items to get you through the long winter months? And finally, maybe you are just in a season in which you love God but you feel as if your relationship is not progressing, you feel stagnant in your walk?

Well these are all awesome places to be because God promises us hope regardless of our circumstances. When an animal awakes from hibernation they are starving, the first thing they do is look for food. Are you thirsty? Do you hunger for more satisfaction in life?

Because of Jesus we have been offered more satisfaction, because He has promised us that "everything is beautiful in His timing." Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, 11
"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 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.

All of this to say that no matter where you are in your walk (season) with the Lord, regardless of if it exist to if you are just taking a break; His love for us never fails and He desires to have a relationship with you. We are relational people who desire to be loved which is perfect because God is a relation God who desires to love us.
Psalm 63: 1-8
"O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my flesh faints for you; as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. So I have looked upon you in my sanctuary, behold your power and glory. Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands..."
