Spring has arrived, flowers are in bloom, the air is fresh and the fragrance is sweet. The Lord spoke to me recently and said “It’s a new day dawning.”
Song of Solmon 2:10-13
“My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with
me. See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the
earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. The
fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their
fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.”
It is time for us to
arise, arise out of old habits, old ways of thinking, old and skewed ways of
viewing the world. God is doing a new thing (Isa 43:18). It is time to let go
of the comfortable old ways we did things, old thinking patterns and let Him renew
our minds. In this new season we cannot take old wineskins with us, we need to
be adaptable, flexible to Him so that he can fill us with His new wine (Matthew
9:17).
Song of Solmon 2: 15 “Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that
ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom.” This shows we need to
guard our relationship with God, and beaware of the things that draw us away
from what God is doing in our hearts. It may be an unhealthy relationship, a
dependence on food rather than God or many other things. Let us trust the Lord
to show us the foxes in our lives, so we can deal with them.
There is an excitement
in my spirit about the newness of life that God is wanting to do in and through
His people. It is a season of knowing Jesus as our beloved, as the one worthy
of all our affection, devotion and time. Let us be willing to let go of the old
to embrace the new of what He has for us. Let us arise to the new dawn He has
for us.
May God bless you with a new dawn, may He smile upon you and be gracious to you as He brings new life into dead situations.
