The Promise of Spring
Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone.—Zechariah 10:1 (NIV)
Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!—Psalm 27:14 (ESV)
Of all the seasons, winter seems to be the one that requires the most patience. Waiting for God, praying patiently, accepting His silent answer, all of these things help strengthen your faith. If you are in a waiting season, don’t be discouraged—it is a spiritual exercise that builds your relationship with God.
Heavenly Father, just as I have faith that spring will come, I trust Your divine timing.
