Spring is in the air, colors seem to be more vibrant, sounds seem to be clearer, the scent of orange blossoms floating by. In Arizona, we are blessed with wonderful winters, but if you take the time to look around and listen, you can definitely see the change in the environment. Can you hear it? Are you listening, really listening? I see people busily hurrying everywhere, that they miss the beauty of their surroundings. They miss that there has been a change in the season. They miss the beauty of where we are all blessed to call our hometown. Tourists come from all over the world to take in the sights and sounds of Arizona, and we’re already here!
Sometimes, I feel this is the same regarding our God. Many of us don’t take the time to listen to our God. He’s all around us and talking to us all the time, we’re just not listening. We don’t take the time. We are so blessed to know and live with our Wonderful God. Many people are seeking what we already have. Remember we already have everything because everything has been done for us. God already knows the beginning and the end. We’re to walk in our victories, promises and the fullness of all that our Father has for us. He says so in his word, John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father. Did you know that we are to do greater things than Jesus did? If you are not walking in this knowledge, please take time to listen, and ask our Father to reveal this truth to you. Proverbs 8:34,35 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
I wrote this almost 18 years ago and it still applies today! Just feel led to make sure that we are rooted and grounded in the simple truths that continue to carry us through!!
Thank you for your support and faithfulness!
Blessings abundant,
