The month of September is undoubtedly the ninth month of the year. It is the month that brings the whole world to the dreaded but one of the happiest periods of the year: the months of “embers”. They include September, October, November and December. People see these months as the most dangerous months because all the activities of man in a year are coming to an end and as a result almost everyone is in a hurry to reach the goal.
The “ember” months are those months that end with the word “ember” or “ber”. The word “Ember” represents a piece of wood or coal that does not burn but is still red hot after the fire has been extinguished. The word “Ember” is not without some lessons to teach us. The period of the “embers” months is full of activities of men and women who rush to meet the pressing demands of the end of the year. Reports must be written and submitted, and activities must be initiated for the following year.
You can see why things are at their peak. It is a time to determine a lazy partner in any business in life. So everyone is scrambling to finish with no issues or backlog.
The month of September tells us to “see every problem today, every mountain, as a basis for exercising resilience” in God (Job 19:25).
It is human that we encounter difficulties, problems or challenges. What is divine is when we see those challenges as a means for us to move forward. No challenge that comes your way is bigger than you.
As people look at the month of September in the midst of other “hot coals” months, they may feel that I am here to make them believe the opposite of what is true. No, I mean every word I speak, and they’ve been working for me. Although what I am saying is not something that makes me happy, I still believe that it is a reality.
Are you in a hurry to make ends meet during this period? Take it easy. No rush in life. Just believe and trust God for a better ending. The result does not come through haste. You only create more problems than you could possibly solve.
Are you trying to compete with your colleagues and associates, and feel that things are not as fast as they could or can be, feel that you are too slow to achieve that ambition before the year is out? Relax. Life is not how you take it. Your efficiency or deficiency in life is determined by your reactions to these problems. The winner is always the one who does not die in the war. You should aspire to be a winner always. Your luck in this race of life, especially when it is called TODAY, has only a 24 hour time frame and can never borrow an extra minute to stretch itself out. Don’t worry; you will reach your destination.
The month of September is there for you to remember that you have a lot to accomplish in life, and those things have a time frame. How you take this month on your life and career is a choice only you can make!
