Spring brings the hope of new life, after a long winter, here in Alaska. What appeared to be cold and lifeless, has signs of new life. The daylight increases rapidly and gives off more warmth. and what was frozen for months starts to melt. We had a record snow storm a few weeks ago, then record breaking cold with a low of -27 F. However, this did not last and within 12 hours the temperature rose a total of 67 degrees F. The snow that had remained since October, started melting and birds’ songs were heard. Although snow still remains on the ground, it is leaving and summer is coming! Snow cannot resist the sun shining.
There are times when we look at our circumstances and think the things we find uncomfortable, will never change. However, there is always a time of change. What appears dead in winter begins to show new life. As we turn our eyes to God and express our gratitude, praise and worship, we enjoy his presence. He wants us to trust him, and gives us peace, as our imagination is filled with his love and goodness to us, throughout all the seasons. No matter what our circumstances, he is always with us, loves and cares for us. His love never fails, it melts frozen hearts, no matter the season!
Perfect, absolute peace surrounds those
whose imaginations are consumed with you;
they confidently trust in you. (Isaiah 26:3 TPT)
