The testimony of Spring

Spring is in the air.  Spring in the south is an incredible thing.  Everything around me is bursting with new life.  The baby birds are peeking out of their nests, calling to their mothers to bring them food.  Chrysanthemums, roses, lilacs, tulips, and more peek out of their winter hiding places, eager to show the world their finery.  Occasional fluffy white clouds scuttle across the brilliant blue sky.

It's times like these when I am reminded to "be still and know that He is God."  God can be found everywhere, if only we take the time to look for Him.  In the new life all around us - He is there.  In the brilliant beauty - He is there.  In the meticulous care and detail that this world was created with - He is there.  Look for God in your world today.  After all, if you can't see Him in the physical world all around you, how will you see Him in the invisible spiritual world?

Psalm 104:24-31

²⁴ How many are your works, LORD!  In wisdom you made them all; 

the earth is full of your creatures. ²⁵ There is the sea, vast and spacious, 

teeming with creatures beyond number — living things both large and small.  

²⁶ There the ships go to and fro, and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

²⁷ All creatures look to you to give them their food at the proper time.
²⁸ When you give it to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things.
²⁹ When you hide your face, they are terrified;
when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.
³⁰ When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.

³¹ May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works.
