Be Renewed

Be Renewed “Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who makes the storm clouds. He gives showers of rain to men, and plants of the field to everyone.” Zechariah 10:1 I love the springtime, as the trees and flowers that have been dormant throughout the winter, suddenly spring to life and begin to fill our land with their beautiful and fragrant flowers and blossoms. This is how God brings refreshment into our drab and dreary lives. As we begin to do our spring cleaning and begin to prepare our yards and gardens, we need to also prepare our hearts and minds and refresh ourselves in the spirit of God. This is when we need to do our “spring cleaning of the Spirit” and renew our commitment to following God. Look around you in the springtime and see the wonders that God has created for you, and rejoice in the wonders of His creations. Feel renewed in the thoughts that all these majestic creations have been created by the wonderful hands of our Lord and Savior. Cast off your fears, your disappointment, your worries and the struggles of life that have surrounded you, and place them at the feet of our Lord. This is the time to turn all things over to God and renew yourself and commit your life to Christ. Begin your new season with the spirit of God in your heart, and the commitment to become a follower of God, who will help you renew your Spirit and let you spring to life and blossom in the love He has for you. Take the time to rededicate your life to serving God, reading his word and spending time with Him. The “spring cleaning” He can do in your life will produce a bountiful harvest in the days and weeks ahead, and can change you. Song of Songs 2:11-12 “See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.” My Daily Devotional Volume III March 21 Robert William Brock, Jr.
