As we enter the holiday season, most of us are excited about the coming weeks.  Despite all the happenings in our world, this season is often one that fills us with joy and causes us to rejoice.  Yet there are other seasons in our lives where rejoicing is much harder.  How do we navigate those times?  As we come into the long-awaited Genesis 21, we find Abraham rejoicing at God’s faithfulness… both in seasons of joy but also in other seasons as well.  As we watch his seasonal response, perhaps we might see our own calling to walking with God in and out of seasons.
