He Still Provides
“Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these." (lLuke 12:27 NIV)
In spite of the pandemic, in many ways life still continues as normal. The seasons continue to change, and many things are proceeding as natural. Around here, it is becoming Spring, as the signs of Winter begin to fade and the signs of Spring begin to emerge. Wild flowers are beginning to pop up and bloom. Trees are beginning to bud, and will soon sprout leaves. Lawns are beginning to flourish, which means more people are out mowing lawns - something I myself will be doing in the next couple of days once the ground dries out. In between rainstorms, many of my neighbors are already starting to clear out their flowerbeds and begin planting flowers. Many people are planning their vegetable gardens. Once again, even though life has been disrupted in many ways because of the pandemic, life still continues on as normal because of the season. It also shows that God is continuing to provide.
Even though there are some things that have been stopped, such as being able to go to school, go out to eat, and other things, God still continues to provide for our needs. He causes the seasons to continue on as they did before, causing things to grow and flourish, even without our noticing it - yet we are to give Him thanks for everything He does. We are to recognize that He is causing things to continue on and provide for our needs, even and especially the things we take for granted. He is providing us with food, shelter, nourishment, and encouragement. We are to thank Him for everything He gives us, because He cares for us. He loves us so much, even sending His Son to die and rise again for us, to make sure our relationship with Him remains unbreakable. Even though life may be changed in some ways by what is happening, God is making sure some things still remain the same - the changing of the seasons, and our being provided for. For all this we are to thank God for His love and care.
Dear God, thank you for continuing to provide for me and everyone. Help me to receive what you provide with a grateful heart. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
