Stepping Into a New Season With God Means Letting Go of the Old

We need to surrender our plans to God.

It is easy to get excited about a new season, especially when God has pre-emptively shown you part of the outcome. I recall multiple occasions when God has shown me a little glimpse of what is to come, and I have acted on my own accord. Sometimes, God shows us things in advance so we can prepare.

We learn patience in our waiting, and we practice faith in our longing for what has not yet come. When the promise is finally fulfilled, we know it is done not on our own strength, but on the omnipotence of God, and we give Him all the glory.

We do not enter a new season on our own accord, but it is God who calls us. It is our ‘yes’ to Him that allows us to step into it, and our willingness to surrender that enables us to experience it.

“Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.”
(Isaiah chapter 43, verse 19)

A new season brings new revelation, new testimonies, new testings and new victories. The old is not forgotten, but built upon; the new waits for us to discover it, and God Himself leads us through it.

Are any of us ready to follow Him?
