In The Right Season

When I was a child, my parents loved to camp in the Smoky Mountains. I distinctly remember one vacation when we were passing Lookout Mountain, near Chattanooga, Tennessee, and I spotted a large cave opening on the side of the mountain. I felt like Tom Sawyer, and I wanted to know more about this 
cavern.

As a teenager, I began spelunking and throughly enjoyed the hobby of exploring caves. And although I’ve been in many caves over the years, I have never forgotten the cave I spotted as a child.
Several years ago, while driving past Lookout Mountain, I told my wife about my childhood experience. 

So together we started scanning the area and finally spotted a very small cave opening. It had seemed much larger when I was a child. Over the years, I drove by it several times and became convinced that
my memory must have played a trick on me? The cave entrance wasn’t as big as I’d remembered it to be. 

But one cold January day, while I was passing through that area and looking for the little opening, I spotted the immense cave entrance I had seen in my childhood. Over the years, vines had grown around
it, and the leaves had kept it hidden from view. I had been searching in the wrong season. Mystery solved.

You may be searching for the right opening to a new chapter in your life. Many times, we have allowed vines of distraction to block our view. Maybe it’s just not the right season, and there’s a bigger 
opportunity a little farther down the road. Always remember that God’s love is higher than any mountain and deeper than any cave. He wants the very best for His children. Just keep looking.
