The Wet and The Dry Seasons of Life

Just as there are majorly the Wet and the Dry Seasons in every Calendar Year, so it is in our personal lives.  During the wet season of our lives, favour is abound, whatever we lay our hands upon flourishes, we are happy and at the same time joyful.  It would appear that nothing nothing in this world can shake us.   Everybody becomes our friend!

But when the dry season comes, favour is withdrawn.  Whatever one lays his or her hands upon resists.  Otherwise brilliant students surprisingly begin to fail their examinations; those who are working are threatened with uncertainties or even direct attack by their fellow senior colleagues who ought to encourage them.  Those in marital relationship lose their joy and face turbulence instead.  Children become disobedient to their parents; parents question God's existence.  A good example of a dry season in the investment world was the Financial Institutions Crash and the Stock Market Failures in the last 2 years or so, all of which turned experts to fools! Or when job, after many years of celebrating excellence suddenly became a failure and a confused man!

I don't know what season you are facing in your own life.  But one thing is this, even if the whole world rejects us, God is always with us both in the Wet and Dry Seasons. That is why whether you are in a dry or wet season, you must attach yourself to God.  He amply demonstrated this in the life of Job and is still doing it today.
