April 24th – Deuteronomy 32:2

Deuteronomy 32:2

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.

April 11th – Philippians 3:13-14

Philippians 3:13-14

There’s an old proverb that says, no matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. So as spring ushers in its promise of renewal, let us take inspiration from Philippians 3:13-14, shedding the weight of past mistakes like the shedding of winter’s cloak. Just as nature refreshes itself, may we too release the burdens that tether us to yesterday’s failures, embracing the opportunity for new beginnings. With hearts unburdened, let us fix our gaze forward. And let us set our sights on the ultimate prize of knowing Christ more deeply. Like flowers reaching for the sun, may we keep pressing towards the goal ahead, eager to grow in our faith and understanding. As we leave behind the shadows of yesterday, let us step boldly into the light of God’s grace, confident in His guiding hand. With each step forward, may we find strength in His presence and assurance in His promises, knowing that the journey ahead holds boundless opportunities for spiritual growth and fulfillment.
