As Seasons Change
He made the moon to mark the seasons, and the sun knows when to go down-Psalm 104:19 NIV
When God put the sun, moon, and stars in the sky and made the planets start turning, that was the beginning of days, months, and seasons. As the whole solar system revolves and rotates, temperatures change, and our days get longer or shorter.
In places like Japan and Canada, the four seasons bring a wide variety of weather. Summer months can be warm and sunny when kids go for hikes and splash in the water. After summer comes autumn, when trees are full of colorful leaves that eventually fall to the ground. Winter can be cold and snowy with icicles and blizzards. And when spring follows winter, the rainy days make flowers pop out of the ground.
It’s cold most of the year in some parts of the world, and in other areas, it’s always hot. In places like Argentina and Australia, winter begins in June, and summer begins on the first day of December. But no matter where you live or your seasons, summer, autumn, winter, and spring always follow the same order, and each season follows God’s plan.
Psalm 102:27 says that God will never change. As we go from one season to the next, remember that even though seasons change, God’s love for you never changes. He loves you every hour and every day of the year. What God wants us to do never changes, either. God wants us to love Him with all our hearts and show His love to others daily.
