Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord;
his going out is sure as the dawn;
he will come to us as the showers,
as the spring rains that water the earth.”
Hosea 6:3
You see, I have spent the last 6 years in a winter season of my soul. That's half of my walk with Jesus. What are some adjectives that describe winter? Here are some that I found on the internet..
~barren
~biting
~dark
~depressing
~gray
~harsh
~long
~relentless
~bleak
~isolating
~lonely
~unending
When your soul feels barren, dark, isolated...and the season feels unending...you've got no choice but to cling to God and His promises.
He promises to never leave us. He promises never to forsake us. He promises that we can take heart because he has overcome the world...He promises to refresh and renew those who wait upon Him. He promises to comfort the broken hearted. He promises to bind up our wounds. He promises to give strength to the weary. He promises to gives us beauty for Ashes. He promises to give us a garment of praise, instead of a faint Spirit.
Friends... He promises to come like the Spring rain again to your parched and barren soul that has weathered the long winter.
After days and days of relentless bitter cold, the first warm Spring rain brings PROMISE. Promise to AWAKEN everything that was lying dormant through the winter.
Dormancy is a state in which a plant exhibits little to no growth. Dormancy is used as a means to to SURVIVE unfavorable conditions. The plants roots are still ALIVE. It's actually a means to protect the plant and keep it alive.
Oh How Creation Speaks of it's Creator.
So friends, I've moved into a new Season. A season of new life and Spring Rain! If you are still in the Winter season...Hold on! He will come to you like the Rain again....
What does Spring promise...
