"Concerning times and seasons, brothers, you have no need for anything to be written to you. For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief at night." (1 Thessalonians 5: 1 - 2).
"To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven." (Ecclesiastes 3: 1).
The central message of Times and Seasons is the need to be vigilant at all times.
"I have learned the secret of.... living in abundance and of being in need." (Philippians 4: 12 ).
There is Times and Seasons in God's plan of provision for our needs.
"Thus says the Lord:
Cursed is the man who trusts in human beings, who makes flesh his strength, whose heart turns away from the Lord." (Jeremiah 17: 5).
If we want to enjoy change of seasons in our lives, we must trust in God with all our hearts.
"God of might, giver of every good gift, put into our hearts the love of your name, so that, by deepening our sense of reverence,
you may nurture in us what is good
and, by your watchful care,
keep safe what you have nurtured.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever." (Collect Tuesday, 22nd Week in Ordinary Time).
