Daily Devotions
February 28th, 2014 by Pastor SolleyGen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
It has been many years that we have had a winter like this one in our part of PA. -10 this morning with another snow storm coming for Sunday into Monday. We have had two times our normal amount of snow for January and February, more sub zero temperatures that we have had in a long, long time, there seems to be no end in sight. Yet we know spring is coming, summer will follow that, warm weather is coming, God is in control. Spiritually speaking the same can be said. In a general way we have never seen sin abounding as it is today, crime on the increase, terrible unimaginable things in the news all the time, sin abounds. Individually we go through the trials of life. This weekend I will have a part in a funeral for a friend who lost a brother suddenly, and then for a dear family in our church who lost a husband and father at a young age after a long illness. People are hurting, our nation is hurting, we are in the midst of a long cold winter. Yet we know spring is coming and spiritually speaking we know that Jesus is coming as well. The trials of this life will not last forever, sin will not be allowed to dominate forever, Jesus is coming. Just thinking of His return warms me this morning. Just as God is in control of the seasons and is not out of touch, so is He in control of this world and our lives as well. Wouldn’t we be better off to yield ourselves to Him and His perfect will, wouldn’t we be better off to allow Him to guide us through the darkness of this world and the trials of life?
