Spring Reminders from God
Even though the calendar says spring has arrived, those of us in Michigan know better than to pack away the winter coats too quickly. One day may bring sunshine and 70-degree warmth, and the next day may bring sleet or even snow. Yet despite these ups and downs, we all know something encouraging: true spring, God willing, is coming.
Each year God gives us this beautiful reminder through the seasons. Winter may seem long and cold, but it never lasts forever. Eventually the snow melts, the grass begins to turn green, flowers push through the soil, and trees once again fill with leaves. The world awakens with new life.
The changing of seasons reminds us of the faithfulness of God. From the very beginning the Lord promised that the natural order of the world would continue. In Genesis 8:22 we read: “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.”
Springtime is also a reminder of hope. Just as life returns to the earth after the dormancy of winter, God has promised new life to those who belong to Him. The resurrection of Jesus Christ assures us that life triumphs over death and that a greater “springtime” awaits God’s people.
As we note the early signs of spring—longer days, warmer temps, and the first signs of green—let them remind us not only of the beauty of God’s creation, but also of the faithfulness of the Creator Himself.
And perhaps spring can encourage us spiritually as well. Just as gardens require care and attention to grow, our faith also grows when it is nurtured. Through prayer, Bible study, worship, and fellowship with fellow Christians, our spiritual lives can flourish.
So, the next time the weather swings from sunshine to snow, don’t be discouraged. Spring is on the way—and every new season reminds us again that God is faithful.
