Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) 1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I\u2019m not a fan of Winter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When I was a kid, I loved it. I grew up in New England, where we have a full 4 seasons; Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall. We get to see the annual recurring life, death and rebirth of the trees and plants each year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In my childhood years, I would spend hours each week on a snowmobile, zipping along fields, and traversing mountain trails on a snowmobile with my dad, and sometimes my grandfather and uncle. I looked forward to it each year as Winter approached!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

These days, though, I look forward instead to Spring and Summer, when I can spend my free time on my small boat, immersing myself in nature, catching freshwater bass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Being on the water like this lets me take in the beauty of God\u2019s creation. I get to see sunrises and sunsets. I get to hear the sounds of the whippoorwills, bull frogs, ospreys calling as they soar overhead, and even coyotes howling at night, after the sun has gone down.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And the stars are an incredible sight to behold. Their beauty is breathtaking on those clear nights when they light up the sky.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

All of these things are a testament to God\u2019s majesty, power and might.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But above all, I love the Spring, as we get to watch everything that appears to be dead come alive all over again!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As Winter wanes and everything is cold and bleak, the weather starts to warm ever so slightly, and the days get longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The sun gets stronger, and a change can be felt. Life begins to stir again in the plants. And the animals begin their annual rituals to bring new life into the world in their domain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And as Spring peaks, everything is in full bloom. The flowers pop and their colors are incredible to see. The trees bloom and their leaves are a brilliant green where, only a few weeks ago, there was nothing but gray, lifeless empty branches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This is God in action!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This annual rebirthing reminds me of the new life He offers us, taking us from dead and dull, to alive and thriving, overflowing with His new life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

We were dead in our sins; as dead as dead can be. But He has taken us from death to life by the power of His spirit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Maybe you live in an area where you\u2019ve never witnessed the miraculous process of the 4 seasons. But trust me when I tell you that it\u2019s like watching a miracle every year, second only to the miracle of rebirth by the blood of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
