As I write this, today’s verse-of-the-day on the YouVersion Bible app is Isaiah 54:17. What an appropriately timed reminder in these days that we live that weapons aimed our way are ineffective and powerless.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 instructs us that For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: In addition to Acts 1:7, Jesus also told us in Mark 13:28 From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts out it leaves, you know that summer is
