🌌 Evening Meditation

Spring in the Midwest can be unpredictable and even exhausting—oscillating between warm sunshine and icy winds. In tonight’s honest reflection, Meg Bucher shares how the uncomfortable waiting of spring mirrors the waiting seasons of life.

Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3:11, Meg writes:

“For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.”

She reminds us that while we might long to skip ahead to more comfortable days, God is present in every season. He doesn’t waste a moment of our lives. Even when we feel tired, frustrated, or impatient, He’s working behind the scenes, shaping our faith and revealing the beauty in what feels like an in-between time.

This devotion encourages us to slow down, breathe deeply, and trust that the God of all seasons has a purpose and a plan in the waiting. We don’t have to rush past the discomfort—there is joy to be found, even here.


🧭 Main Takeaways

  • Learn that God is timeless, already present in your tomorrow—so you don’t have to worry about what’s ahead.

  • Discover how seasons of waiting can reveal hidden joys and deepen your trust in God.

  • Remember that God doesn’t waste even a moment—He uses every day to grow you and prepare you for what’s next.

  • Find comfort in knowing that while the seasons change, God’s faithfulness remains constant.

🙏 Your Nightly Prayer

Father,
Thank You for reminding us there is a reason for every season, for all of the things we walk through. You don’t waste a minute of our lives, and walk faithfully next to us through it all.
Help us to be patient as we wait for uncomfortable seasons to pass by, and to see the joy in those days instead of racing through them.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
