The Wonders of God's Nature - The Beauty of Nature is being fulfilled

It seems every season brings to my mind a special memory from long ago.  The end of April and the beginning of May takes me back to 1949.  I gave birth to my daughter at the end of April.  Back in those days, a mother and her newborn child had to remain in the hospital for two weeks.  So when we were released to go home, it was May.  While I was gone a beautiful transformation had taken place in nature to welcome us home.  Green grass, green tree leaves and yellow forsythia bushes had come back to life.  The outside sounds of lawn mower engines working and rototillers digging up the soil for vegetable gardens seemed to lull our new little one to sleep.

Now in this present time, Spring is almost over.  Nature is about to move into it’s next season of summer.  Our God is a God of balance and order.  We know we can depend on Him to bring in each new season at just the right time, year after year.  He should be able to depend on us to live out our faith and trust in Him to bring honor and glory to His name.

James 2: 17,18 – “Thus, also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.  But someone will say “you have faith and I have works.”  Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

Psalm 37:3 – “Trust in the Lord and do good.”

Proverbs 3: 5, 6 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean no on your own understanding;  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”

Who is better qualified to direct our lives than the Creator of heaven and earth and everyone and every thing that exists.  No One else is qualified, not even ourselves.  Praise the Lord that he is always there for us.  Let us always be there for Him as an example to others  of  His great care and love for us.

Thank you for reading this,

Great Granny Witt
