Today’s scripture:
Isaiah 61:10-11
My favorite season is spring. I love it when the first green leaf appears on a
backyard tree. When the first flower blooms. When the temperature raises from
winter’s cold to spring’s warmth.
Joy feels very much like spring to me. As I ponder how much God loves me and
how He “clothes [me] with the garments of salvation,” then joy “spring[s]
forth” just as “the earth brings forth its bud” or as the New Living Translation says, “His righteousness [is] like a garden
in the early spring, with plants springing up everywhere.”
And although spring is just a few months a year, joy can be found anywhere at
any time.
If you’re in a winter-like season, find joy in the “early spring” of God’s
salvation and righteousness.
