Returning Spring

Although it is cold today, I was encouraged this morning as I noticed how much of the snow had melted. Not because there was less snow, although I am good with that, but because I know spring is coming. It is a beautiful time of year when things come alive again. It reminded me that God has placed things in their place and in their season. We have only to observe and see the testimony of His works and His love toward us, for they are everywhere.

Psalms 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
6 His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

This psalm reminds us that what God has created is everywhere, and it communicates His wonder day and night. There is no place on earth where there is a language where the impact of God’s creation, like the sun, is not felt. As we move into a time of reflection on the wonders that the Messiah did for us in giving His life on the cross, it is good to remember that everything around us testifies to God’s great love for us. He wants only good for us. All we need do is seek His face and try to walk in His ways. He already has done the rest.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You as the Most High King. Thank You for Your wondrous love toward us. We ask that You look past and forgive the things we get wrong. We ask that you help us find our way to doing Your will, to walking in Your way. Please send today the healing, the deliverance, and the provision we need. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
