Enjoy each season of your life! – Bob Gass
Life is lived in seasons, and to be fruitful we must recognize the season we are in and maximize it.
How can I tell when a season is ending, you may ask. You will know because the grace that accompanied that season will lift, and what was once rewarding will start to feel unrewarding to you.
No wonder, the Bible says a successful man or woman is like a tree planted by streams of water “which yields its fruit in season”. You can only be fruitful in your season! That is where blessing and success occur.
You can’t just do many things whenever you want to; it has to be in your appointed time – your season. When the right season comes, it is effortless for a tree to produce what is stored within. In like manner, there is fruit within you that will be produced when you understand what season of life you are in.
But there are rules for each season; let us look at them now.
This is life-transforming wisdom and if you do it right, each season can be the best season of your life!

But there are rules for each season; let us look at them now.
- Spring is for training and discipline. That is when you begin to see God’s purpose for your life and prepare for it.
- Summer is for maturing what spring started. The seeds you sowed and nurtured then will grow and multiply now.
- Autumn is when you no longer have the passion of youth but the steady calm of the seasoned veteran. If you are wise, you are now working smarter instead of harder. It is time to transition and prepare for the upcoming winter.
- Winter is when you assess your accomplishments, enjoy your rewards, pass on your counsel, and take your bows. You have fought the good fight, kept the faith, and finished the course.
This is life-transforming wisdom and if you do it right, each season can be the best season of your life!
