Psalm 96:1-2
1 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth. 2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
I don't like all of these rainy days. I don't like the temperatures jumping up and down 20 degrees at a time--flip-flops today and boots tomorrow. But that is the way it has always been here as we move into spring. Spring is one of my 2 favorite seasons (the other is fall). I like spring because a dark, gray world begins to be filled with colors. Wildflowers, grass, leaves on the trees all give us hope that something better lies ahead. The new life is exciting and eases my mood of sadness.
When we look at things through God's eyes, we can see that every day can be spring--a new day, a new song, a new life. We read in 2 Corinthians 5:18-20 that God has reconciled ourselves to him and given us the "ministry of reconciliation." Then we are told to be ambassadors for Him. We are to share the news with others that they, too, can have a new day, a spring in their lives, any day of the year. We can celebrate our salvation and thank God for giving us all things new.
It is important for us to be intentional every day to celebrate new life...to be renewed. We can learn something new every day by reading God's Word and talking with Him.
As we go through the day, let us remember to celebrate our new life with Jesus!
