Just a simple thought this morning. The power of life is seen all around in nature and there are spiritual lessons concerning the power of life. Spring time is a great time of the year with new life, things turning green and flowers popping out of the ground. This spring our area saw lots of rain which delayed much of the planting of crops but now the fields are bursting with life and growth. Spiritually speaking the power of life begins with our new birth as a being in Christ. The conditions needed for growth of this new life is simple. I must learn to do life God's way. That maybe a simple principle but I have found out through the years that it is not always an easy principle to live out. Within the natural world if you want to see the power of life you must control the weeds, fertilize the soil, receiving timely rain and be patient because fruit does not happen over night. When these conditions are present you witness the power of life. Spiritually, the conditions are similar: we must control the tendency of the fallen world that can crowd out our new life, we must feed on the Word of God which is like fertilizer to our soul, we have timely encounters with the Living God, Heavenly Rain that encourages our spirit life and we must persevere and remain faithful until the fruit begins to come. When the spiritual conditions are right you will witness the power of life in ways that will change your life. May we allow this life influence how we live in this world.
May the God of life and mercy be with you.
Pastor John
