1 Chronicles 16:33-35
Let the trees of the forest sing, let them sing for joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Cry out, “Save us, God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, and glory in your praise.”
I may get an argument from die hard Spring lovers BUT When I read the first part of today’s verse it screams Fall. The trees are so radiant in Fall. They truly sing for joy before the Lord. Then winter comes and the leaves fall to the ground and you can almost hear them as the winds begin to blow, “Save us, God our Savior; gather us and deliver us, that we may give thanks to your holy name, and glorify in your praise.” Spring comes and they are reborn and provide shade and fruit for others all through summer.
We are a lot like trees. We go through seasons of our lives. One important thing to remember from trees is they have to let go in order to make it through their dark and cold season. When we let go, we become free to grow again. When we grow we can extend ourselves to help others.
God’s love endures forever. He will see you through each season of your life. You will come out giving thanks to His holy name.
Lord, I will praise Your name no matter what season of life I am in. ~amen
