the heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfy-
ing your hearts with food and gladness."
Acts 14:17 NASB
Spring is a time of hope. It also is a
time of change. Spring reminds us that
the cold winter is gone, and it soon will
be time to enjoy the warm summer.
Spring is the time when farmers get the
soil ready for planting the seeds. Spring
is a time of waiting.
The Bible calls attention to seasons. In
the very beginning, God said that the
"lights in the expanse of the heavens"
were to be "signs and for the
seasons and for days and years."
Genesis1:14
Nature is controlled by seasons, for
God "made the moon for the seasons"
Psalms 104:19; and "even the stork
in the sky knows her seasons"
Jeremiah 8:7
Seasons are also important for spiritual
growth. God's blessings can only be
received by living according to His calendar.
Season are linked to obedience. By obey-
ing, He will give "rains in their seasons, so
that the land will yield its produce and the
trees of the field will bear their fruit"
Leviticus 26:4
The Word says that "for everything there
is a season, a time for every activity under
heaven... a time to plant and a time to
harvest"
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
By being sensitive to His calendar, He
promises a harvest but first the seeds [His words] must be planted. He will send rain to water the seeds and He will bring in a "fruitful season" of harvest!
