Psalm 51:12-13: Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.
I think Spring is a time of restoration. We really didn't have much of a winter, but it was still winter. It was cold and snowy at times. The wind in the bare trees sang a different song. It was dark early and the sun seemed to sleep longer. It was winter.
Then one morning you woke up to hear a bird sing, and you just knew something was about to change. Spring, a time when God restores the land.
Sometimes we have spiritual winters. Our souls feel cold and things seem dark. In those "winters" is the time we must hold on and trust Jesus. Listen for the sweet song of the Holy Ghost reminding us restoration is on the way. There will be joy again and others will hear the Holy Ghost's song because they can see Jesus in us.
There's something very special going on at Belmont Community Church. Jesus is restoring joy. In the morning when you rise, listen intensely for the sweet song of the Holy Ghost. Jesus is at hand and on the move. Restorations are coming. Salvation will be seen. I believe this because I've heard the early morning song promise of the Holy Ghost, and have experienced the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. I pray you have too.
In The Sweet By and By,
