flower

Good morning…

Walking the familiar sidewalk into our backyard, I noticed a yellow blossom at rest on a bed of dying brown. I lifted my eyes to see extravagant buds all over the sprawling vine. This was the day I noticed anew, “Everything is changing.”

What “used to be” is dying, decaying, dissipating, making room for God’s new growth. Transformation happens quietly. Will we look and see?

Imagine the wilderness whooping for joy, the desert’s unbridled happiness with its spring flowers. It will happen! The deserts will come alive with new growth budding and blooming, singing and celebrating with sheer delight…The glory of the Eternal One will be on full display there, and they will revel in the majestic splendor of our God (Isaiah 35:1-3, VOICE).

As fresh signs of spring burst on our scene, the glory of God is on full display. What a joy to revel in the majestic splendor of our living LORD, the Eternal One who sparks organic growth, inside and around us.

Let’s take some time to imagine: “What new buds are appearing in my life right now?”
