Psalm 74:16-17
The day is yours, and yours also the night;
you established the sun and moon.
It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth;
you made both summer and winter.
The day is yours, and yours also the night;
you established the sun and moon.
It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth;
you made both summer and winter.
Spring flowers bloom, summer grass grows, autumn leaves
color the trees. Then there’s winter. The season of quiet, cold, ice, snow, did
I mention quiet. January brings a sense of serenity after a flurried season of
celebration. I don’t know how your holidays are, but mine are blessed with lots
of people and activities. As much as I love the busy, fun holiday, I cherish
the month of January. And yes, I like winter. The solitude, the silvery snow, colder
temperatures, but mostly the time to think. In winter I ponder my relationship
with God, my goals, life with family and friends.
God created seasons for nature to roll through just as he
gave us seasons in life. Age wise, I’m probably in my autumn years. Logically,
these are the days when wisdom wins over daring. But, where God is concerned,
faith replaces the logic and I’m willing to step out and follow my Father’s lead.
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions, but I do listen for what God has in store
for me. This is the year of listening and following. Where he leads I’ll go in
faith.
What are you doing this year?
