Funny The Way It Is

What if your worst season of life is your best season of life?  The Spirit of God stirred this upon me during worship last Sunday morning. It was one of those moments where I knew God was speaking to me.

Honestly, the season I have been in over the last four years is has been tough, to say the least, not only for myself but also for my family.  I have often questioned if it is ever going to end, and sometimes I still do.  The current period I'm in is one of those you don't really want, and possibly hope you never have to go through it. Have you ever experienced one of those moments when the last thing you thought you needed was what you received?

Ironically, God is showing me that the last thing I thought I needed is actually required on so many different levels.  Hence, the impression in worship yesterday, "What if your worst season is your best season?" Truthfully, the things I am learning during this season are preparing me for greater days ahead in ministry.

Suffering accompanies anointing, which results in a greater anointing. If that is the case then the season I have pegged as "my worst season" is actually my best season. Funny the way it is, if you think about it, how suffering can be a blessing.
