Seasons Change: Wisdom OCTOBER 17, 2026 NEW!Listen Now And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings and raises up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. Daniel 2:21 Recommended Reading: Daniel 2:20-23 Journalists believe they know what is going on in the world, and historians think they can explain what has happened in the past. But a true understanding of the unfolding events in world history requires wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. It requires knowing that God has a plan for this planet and that everything in the past has been orchestrated under the governing eye of His Providence. Everything occurring now is aligning with His long-term intentions. And the Most High rules over the affairs of men (see Daniel 4:17). We can gain understanding in these things by reading the books of Daniel, Esther, and Revelation. Yet we would also be wise to look over the course of our own individual lives and see how the guiding goodness of God has led our steps, our stops, and every stage along the way. Whatever season you are in, ask the Lord for wisdom to discern His ways and to trust His guidance. God has a plan and a purpose for the world and governs history such that everything from the least to the greatest contributes to the achievement of that plan and purpose. Robert Rothwell

The Lord replied, “Is it right for you to be angry?” Jonah 4:4

Today's Meditation "The Church, which has spread everywhere, even to the ends of the earth, received the faith from the apostles and their disciples ... Having one soul and one heart, the Church holds this faith, preaches and teaches it consistently as though by a single voice. For though there are different languages, there is but one tradition. ... Just as God's creature, the sun, is one and the same the world over, so also does the Church's preaching shine everywhere to enlighten all men who want to come to a knowledge of the truth. Now of those who speak with authority in the churches, no preacher however forceful will utter anything different—for no one is above the Master—nor will a less forceful preacher diminish what has been handed down. Since our faith is everywhere the same, no one who can say more augments it, nor can anyone who says less diminish it." —St. Ignatius of Antioch An excerpt from Witness of the Saints: Pg. 194 Quote of the Day “It is not that I want merely to be called a Christian, but to actually be one. Yes, if I prove to be one, then I can have the name.” —St. Ignatius of Antioch

“And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭ESV‬‬ Our Trustworthy God Have your plans been derailed? Have your dreams experienced a detour? Has your life taken an unforeseen turn? It’s been said that God works in mysterious ways, which is absolutely true. And how His sovereignty (His supreme power and authority) interplays with human choices is equally laced with mystery. In his letter to the Romans, Paul acknowledges the unexpected hardships, suffering, and corruption the believers were dealing with at that time. But he also encourages them with these words: “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:28‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Maybe you lost a loved one. Maybe someone you respect disappointed you. Maybe someone in your family received a hard diagnosis. Maybe your job title shifted, which has shaken your identity. Maybe reality doesn't match what you see on social media. Maybe you made a decision you regret. Maybe you’ve found yourself questioning God. Maybe someone you love walked away. Maybe you put your whole heart into something or someone, but it didn’t go how you hoped. Though it might seem hard to believe, God can use it all. The good and the bad. The polished and the messy. The planned and the unsettled. The clear and the misunderstood. The encouraging and the hurtful. God can work everything together for good. This doesn't mean that everything will BE good, or that everything will work out the way we want or expect. After all, we live in a broken, messy world. But—we can rest in the confident assurance that the Holy Spirit is at work in our lives, interceding, advocating, celebrating, and grieving with us. And one day, we will see the complete picture He is painting in our lives. Nothing we go through is wasted. And how does He do it? That’s where we have to lean into the mystery of God, because we cannot fully comprehend an infinite God.
