A prior to see our purpose in every season, by Alicia Headley, read by Leah Martin.

There's a season for every purpose and a purpose for every season, Ecclesiastes 3-1.

I'm not sure what season you're currently walking in right now.

Perhaps you're in a season of transition as you're in the process of changing careers.

Maybe you're in a season that feels insignificant, taking care of young children or aging parents.

Every day feels like Groundhog Day.

Whatever your season, it's preparing you for the next one.

The Bible gives us countless examples of seasons, none of which were ever wasted.

Some of these seasons might have felt irrelevant, but each season served a significant purpose.

Our beloved Savior, Jesus himself spent his first 30 years mostly in obscurity.

After just a few years of ministry, he was crucified on the cross at age 33.

That means he was only walking in what one might perceive as his calling for a short

three years.

For 30 years prior, even though it may have seemed irrelevant or insignificant, was anything but.

He was a student and not a teacher.

He was following his calling, allowing God to make him into the man who was ready to walk in the season ahead of him.

Luke 3.23 shows us he was exactly where he was supposed to be for those first 30 years.

Walking in the season he was supposed to be walking in.

So what season are you currently in?

It may seem like a season that feels as if you have no value.

Today's verse confirms, however, that whatever season you're in serves a purpose.

We may not understand the purpose yet, but one day we will.
