Saturday, March 20, at 5:37 A.M. EDT, marked the start of the spring season. While it was rather cool yesterday it is good to know that warmer times are ahead.
Spring is an important part of the year. Many will dedicate themselves to Spring cleaning. The sport enthusiasts are engaged in Spring training. Meanwhile many students are filling our shores as they celebrate Spring break.
This is a time of new beginnings, rebirth, and hope. For some unfortunately it is a time of serious interaction with nature as their immune systems attempt to fend off the effects of blossoming greenery. Be healed!
For the believer the greatest Spring event to be celebrated is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. While some saints have left calling it Easter Sunday I am one of those that has always known the day as such and will refer to it as both Easter and Resurrection Sunday.
On Easter Sunday, people who rarely attend church will attend services where they sing, pray, and hear a hope filled message. True believers will joyfully celebrate Jesus Christ the Risen Savior.
Later there will be a time for some fun family activities too, like decorating hard-boiled eggs and searching for the hidden treats around the house or yard. The White House even gets in on the action with an egg-rolling competition. Some kids also receive baskets filled with goodies, and many families have big feasts.
So Spring is another most wonderful time of the year.
It is a good time to start over, to get back on track, to rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of God. It is a good time to repent, forgive, and as the Apostle Paul says in Philippians 3:13,14…Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
This year Spring is a grand opportunity to come out of the lockdowns, the fear, and the uncertainty to a faith filled, Spirit inspired pressing toward that will result in our reaching upward for that which God has promised, prepared, and provided for us in Christ. It is a time for restoration of former dreams and visions and Godly desires that were made dormant during this past year of oppression.
Isaiah 43:18 Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old.
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
Hallelujah! It is time to rise and shine Church. Now it shall Spring forth! God is making a way for you. Break forth and decide, decree, and declare your purpose in God. Fulfill the plan, accomplish the task. Receive the promise, rejoice in the victory.
This Spring is the believers season of blessing.
Go on! Take it! Yes! -PJF-
Well, go ahead and praise Him!
