“SPRING!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

May 7, 2019///

Have you noticed all the green and blooms and life in the trees and plants all around?

The winter is gone (at least here in Georgia) and with the warmth comes new life into those yards, fields, flower and trees that looked like no life existed in them..

The beauty of green grass and flowers blooming always brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. It reminds me that just as there is life in natural things even though we cannot always see it, there is also life in ourselves and all those around us even if it is hidden.

Just as fall and winter rob the trees of leaves and the flowers of their blooms, the harsh & hard situations of life may rob us of our smile and zest for life for a while.

But, may I tell you that as a child of Almighty God, victory is ours and we win. No matter what difficulty we may find ourself in at this moment, we are loved and cared for by the one who takes care of the birds and the flowers.

Matthew 6:26-28 (KJV)
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Matthew 10:29 (KJV) Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

Today I want you to look at yourself and those around you and instead of seeing failure, sickness, hurt, confusion and despair, see success, health, forgiveness, joy and peace.

These things will come forth as we keep walking faithfully with the Lord God Almighty and understand that it is His presence, His ability, and His touch that brings life to those dead dreams, confused minds and sick bodies.

Jesus came that we might have life and life abundantly even in the turmoil of life.

Paul tells us that though we may not see it on the outside our inner man is renewed day by day, and that gives us life and life abundantly.

2 Corinthians 4:16 (KJV)
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

Just as the flowers and trees show new life in the spring, the dreams and desires of our heart are still there and will spring forth at the right time and season as we put our trust in the one who created us and placed those dreams and desires within us.

The answer to every perplexing problem we face is in Him. We can trust Him to guide every decision and order every circumstances and situation for our good.

But satan, the enemy of all that is good, causes our situations to look so big and out of control that we fall into the mind set that things will never change. He always makes things look bigger and worse than they are.

Think with me a moment. Have you ever had a tooth that needed a filling and when you felt the place with your tongue it felt enormous, but in reality if you took a mirror and looked at it or the dentist looked at it, the hole was very small.

May I remind you that, just like the tooth, the enemy of your soul is a liar and will blow the difficult situations of your life out of proportion.

But our God, our amazing Creator of the Universe, knows us and Loves us and will handle every problem as we bring them to Him and Trust Him.

Genesis 18:14 (KJV)
Is anything too hard for the LORD?

The Lord, the Lord of host, will fight for us. We will trust, we will believe, and we win because He is Victorious!!!!!

Know that there is new life in every area of each of our lives.

Father, thank you that you care for the birds of the air and the flowers in the field and you care for me. I submit every care and concern of my life into your Loving hands and rest in the assurance that not only are you able, but you are faithful to watch over and care for us in all things. With you, Lord God Almighty, all things are possible. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I pray. Amen

Let the life of Jesus Christ flow through you.
Love, MeMaw
