| Yesterday Afternoon's Bible Study |
"Beauty is all around us. We can see it in God's creation and throughout moments in our lives. Just like in nature, seasons in our lives come and go. Nothing ever lasts.
Seasons of joy are often followed by mourning and loss. But after living through seasons of pain, we may feel like dancing. We will experience highs and lows, but in every season, God is always there. We can have peace when we go through tough times because they are only temporary.
It takes time for everything to become beautiful. A small seed can grow into an amazing, colorful flower. Then, it dies. But another bud grows and blooms, and beauty is created again. It's how God created everything to function. It's His design and plan for nature."

In our lives, we can see that same pattern over and over. We can choose to look forward to the beauty that is coming in the days ahead, or we can allow ourselves to become distracted by the hardships we currently see all around us. Our perspective should be influenced by what we know about who God is and what He does. He works all things together for our good. He is faithful and just. His motives are pure and holy.
God has mercy and love for us. When we wonder how we will make it through a particular season, we can depend on the character of God that is described in the Bible. We know that we can trust God in every season of life.
