It's Not Time

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven" (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

It's only February and the redbuds are trying to bloom! It's not their time! A few days of warmer weather and all of creation begins to ready itself for Spring. God reminded me of how often I try to bloom a lot of times before His timing. God has a purpose and a plan for all seasons, and in order for things to bloom and be fruitful, they have to go according to His timetable. Chances are these beautiful blooms will be zapped by frost, but fear not, God can bring beauty out of all circumstances.
