WELCOME SPRING!


WELCOME SPRING!

Gen 9:13
13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

Gen 8:22
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

           Good news for we who are counting down the days until warmer weather arrives. Today is the first day of spring! This is the time when the sun passes the celestial equator and days become longer! No more going to work or school in pitch darkness.

           Spring is part of God’s promise! When Noah finally left the ark, God promised that the four seasons would continue “as long as the earth remained.” Apocalyptic climatologists could have saved themselves a lot of grief by reading the Bible. As we say here in the South, if you don’t like the weather just wait a few minutes and it will change.

           The rainbow is a marvel of nature. It can, of course, be explained scientifically but it would be like trying to learn what kind of paint was used on the Sistine Chapel. No, the rainbow is a promise of the constancy of a faithful God. His anger does not last. His mercy is from everlasting to everlasting.

Thank you, Lord, for your steadfast love and mercy! AMEN
