I sometimes wonder if this long cold winter will never end but something deep inside tells me that the season of change is drawing near. I call Spring the season of change when all nature seems to revive and wear a new wardrobe of beauty. We feel the difference within ourselves and take on a new attitude towards the outdoor world. Trees will start to bud and spring forth leaves and the flowers in my garden will push up their green tips of first growth. The Master Gardner is at work renewing life and putting on a show of beauty for all creation to witness. Do we take time to notice what God has created for our pleasure and use in our daily lives?
There is another change which is drawing near that we pay little or no attention to. The time is at hand which Christ said that we would know by seasons and the signs. I am speaking of the time when He will come on clouds of glory to call us into the air to be with him and the saints who have gone on before us. We spend little time actually even paying attention to all the signs that have sprung forth in the past couple years. He said there would be wars and rumors of wars, that the creation itself would rumble and tremble, and we have seen major earthquakes, flooding, windstorms and all sorts of unnatural disasters. Evil is rampart in the world, especialy in this country with all sorts of major thefts, greed, murder, lying and cheating. I think that we are witnessing the turning away from God and the steady sinking of this great country of ours.
The change that is needed is the one we can make in our daily lives by living what God has told us to do and not just reading and speaking abiout it. The biggest change will be for those who don't know our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. They will either change from death to life, darkness to light, and turn to Christ for salvation by repenting of their past sinful ways or they will spend eternity in the place reserved for those who did not come to know him. All things become new to those who decide to spend eternity with God by seeking salvation throiugh Jesus Christ.
