Spring Time

The weather plays tricks on you in spring. You begin enjoying the warm evenings and seeing the flowers bloom and then a "cool front blows in". Our lives are like this. I have commented before about "seasons" changing and having favorites but a big key to life is enjoying everyday. This is not pie in the sky thinking it is completely within our grasp. It begins between our ears and happens in a nano second. The Bible says we are to "reprogram our minds" by washing out old thoughts with God inspired new ones. The Bible is the only reliable source to base this on. God's word never changes. Before time began God was; He will be after time has ended. Our job is to eat from the bread of life on a regular basis and when our feelings are different than the biblical record we are to bring our feelings in line with it. Just like a cold day in spring time, you have to set your thermostat to get warm, you must set your mind on God's word and in time your feelings "may catch up." The truth is our feelings do not always catch up to God's word. Have you ever forgiven someone only to see them later and still "feel" angry? Don't allow your "soulish nature" (mind, will, emotions) to guide you or rule you. When they don't match God's word follow Him; you will experience peace in your inner man. You will find that He can be relied on in every season and there will be warmth by His spirit that is just the right temperature!
