In this New Year’s season as we begin 2023, it seems like a good time to listen, ponder, consider, and meditate about the year we are entering. Jesus said it’s important to live with discernment and an understanding of the times and seasons of our lives.
During an encounter with the Jewish religious leaders of His day, Jesus rebuked them for not being able to interpret the signs of the times. In the Passion Translation of Matthew 16:3, Jesus spoke to them saying,
“You’re so adept at forecasting the weather by looking at the sky, but you’re absolutely clueless in reading the obvious signs of the times.”
Those of us that live in Oklahoma and the surrounding area put forth considerable effort to be aware of weather patterns and changes. We often listen to weather forecasts several times a day and sometimes from a variety of sources. I wonder, do we spend as much time and effort paying attention to the signs and seasons of the spiritual atmosphere around us? Do we take time to focus our attention on the ONE who really knows what’s happening and has all the answers?
