Spring is just around the corner. We notice the subtle changes. The Robin bird, rising temperatures, Spring showers, longer daylight, & trees budding…. We all welcome the life that Spring offers. It offers up a new beginning, fresh opportunities, and new life.
My friend works in construction. He prefers nice weather as much of his work outside. The picture shown here is him hanging from a crane 200 feet above the ground. “I wonder, it takes an awful lot of faith to do that”, I asked him. He replied, “It is not faith but trust. Trust in the crane operator!”
We can trust in God in the same way. Faith initiates while trust provides for our action! (Hebrews 11:1) It produced hope!
The Bible is filled with examples of hope. We hope for new life as Spring begins. (Zachariah 10:1) Hope is produced in Christ. Like Spring, new life in Christ is available. Watch for the signs of hope eternal: Peace, patience, joy, kindness…. (Galatians 6)
What do you hope for? What brings you joy? How can Christ bring forth new life in you?
