I don’t know how it happened.  I don’t when it happened. But I know why it happened. Finally, an answer to my ‘why’. Spring has come and I don’t understand the how or when, but I do know the why.

“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his. He changes times and seasons.” Daniel 2:20

Spring has crept in quietly this year. The flowers are blooming, the trees unfurling their leaves. Brother Sun rises with new strength and it seems the trails are filled with new people stretching their weary bones from a long, cold season, winter.

I know I’ve made this comparison before, but I can’t help but think about our lives and the seasons we experience as we live them. There are so many seasons that we pass through. Some are spring and some are winter; some times of growth and others times of barrenness. Still all are ordained, if you like that word, by a loving Father who sees all, knows all and cherishes all. He wastes not a moment of our lives although for us it is hard to gain perspective most of the time.

“Let not you heart be troubled. Trust in God. Trust also in Me.”

Sometimes it is so hard for me to trust, but I’ve decided to take these words as a new mantra, words I say to myself. I can take this step of faith because I see that Spring has come again and I know that power and wisdom are His and He changes the times and the seasons. It seems if He can continue to change the seasons year after year then He can surely bring my seasons to pass as He wills. I need to learn to rest and trust that all is well. This season will pass whether it be spring or winter.

Trust in God. Trust also in Me. – Jesus
