Pastor John’s message this week talked about how God’s pattern for fruitfulness involves cycles (seed time, harvest, cycles of festivals, the moon, the Sun, for example). Our longterm success is governed by our stewardship of our cycles and patterns. The covenant of grace does not remove the cycles of sowing and reaping.
Also some of our cycles are toxic and we must be delivered from toxic cycles to create a new pattern. Tests and trials often reveal to us what really need to be removed. Also as we get older, old cycles might need to be replaced for us to continue to thrive. Lean on the Holy Spirit and do some self assessment, recognition and reflection. Read Gal 6:7-10 for encouragement to push through weariness.
