One of my favorite poems for the season begins, “In spring, the rain gently falls. God’s Word, like showers, He calls. Refreshing hearts, renewing souls. As His truth in us unfolds.” A perfect description of the words of our Lord. He sends gentle rains to fall upon tender grass and refreshing showers upon the plants, so spring can bring forth a renewal of life and vitality to the earth. And He sends His Word to descend as dew upon the land, nourishing and sustaining it, making the beauty of springtime a reminder of His divine care. In the tender shoots that push through the soil and the vibrant blooms across the landscape, we see the handiwork of our Creator. As we marvel at the wonders of spring, let us also reflect on the wisdom found in Deuteronomy, recognizing that just as God’s word brings life to the earth, so too does it bring life to our souls. And let us open our hearts to receive His teachings, allowing them to take root and flourish within us, like the flowers that bloom in the warmth of the spring sun.
