Reference text: Luke 6:12-19
In the development of a child, there are developmental milestones they should have achieved within specific age points. Whenever these set targets are not met within an acceptable margin of error, there is reasonable grounds for an inquiry. Likewise, life is broken down into seasons-there are seasons to build character, seasons to prepare, seasons to execute and seasons to rest.
Our verse of interest is from Luke 6:12-13 “
At that time Jesus went up a hill to pray and spent the whole night there praying to God. When day came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he named Apostles".
There were two seasons at play-night and day. Hence, Jesus further delineated a distinction on what is expected in each of those seasons when in John 9:4 we read “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work”. Therefore, we are given a practical demonstration of what happens in seasons through His choosing of the Apostles.
‘The night’ is a season of introspection and silence. That is the season of obscurity, the season where gifts and talents may be covered, influence not expanded and impact perhaps not felt. However, that season is to be spent anticipating “the day” because that is when work can be done.
Don’t be deceived into thinking that the darkness of the night is a green light to shut down, it is a reminder to prepare for the day that beckons.
