My beautiful pomegranate has all but
lost all its leaves, the berry bushes are seemingly lifeless stalks
and anything that is growing or alive is still looking okay, all be
it a tad shabby and for the time being all the plants are being left
to just be. This as the dead end of winter finally shows its claws.
I know though that in roughly 4 weeks
time, seemingly out of nowhere and with no sight of spring yet
visible the new buds will appear and herald in the seasons change
once again. But in this seemingly dead end time how do I just let
things be in peace and know that all is well and will be resurrected
in spring once again? Well because this happens year after year.
Our spiritual lives go through these
dead phases too. Dreams may seem crushed, hearts may be broken, life
may seem lonely, physical pain may seem never ending.....but if we
wait for God and trust in His timing, then as sure as the laws of
nature, new life will spring forth again.
So if you are tired and feeling weary,
take some time to rest in God. Rest in the knowledge that He has
everything planned as it should be.
