Nicodemus is one of my favorite characters in the Bible. I feel his inner struggle as he seeks Jesus in the garden, desperately longing to wrap his head around kingdom principles. After his encounter with Jesus, he would discover his need to be born again; kingdom ways compel our spirits, not our intellect. Scripture does [...]

As I open my Bible to the Old Testament, butterflies dance inside me. My heart jumps when I read the Old Testament.

I am thanking the Lord this evening for the springtime finally arriving in Kentucky in all of its “God blessed” glory. I think it may be all the sweeter for having arrived late. I n these fresh days, I find myself singing for no reason, and there is energy in my outer and inner self ~ it having been AWOL most recently.
Father, you know me completely; You provide the things that draw music from my heart, and You give me the needed attitude to praise in joy; You comfort me by Your Holy Spirit in “off-times.” You meet my need in all seasons, and I worship You gratefully in the twilight of this day.
I thank you Jesus, for lavishing your love on me. In all the seasons during the year, and in all the seasons of my life, You are with me.
The epitome of Spring:
Songs of Songs 2:11-13 “Winter is passed; the rain has stopped; flowers cover the earth; it is time to sing. The cooing of doves is heard in our land.”
Ah Father God, thank you.
