The Way God Designed It

As the weather has warmed up recently, I notice some of my bulbs have broken through the earth and green shoots are sticking up over 6” above the ground. Spring is on its way. How long will the winter weather hang on? No one really knows, not even the popular rodent from Pennsylvania. If I really get concerned about winter hanging around I don’t look to the groundhog, the Farmer’s Almanac or even my daffodil bulbs. I look at my calendar. It reminds me that spring always follows winter because that is the way God has designed it.

“Do you know the laws of the heavens? Did you give God authority over the earth?” (Job 38:33)… “As long as earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”(Gen. 8)…“There is a time and a season for every activity under heaven”… “I know that everything God does will endure forever.” (Ecc.3)

To Job, God declares that He is in control and just as there are seasons in the climate He has established, there are seasons of life. God has ordained that things will come and then pass. There will be times of plenty and times of want, times of joy and times of sadness, times of toil and times of rest. The coming spring reminds me that there is the hope of life, of a future provided by God. He has said it will be so, so it will be as He has said. The weather, the world, our future…He is in control. That is a relief!
