Song 2:11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
Song 2:12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

'Though the rains are not past here in our part of the world, spring is definitely here. There are blossoms everywhere and every day we see new arrivals, as the birds drift north. It is comforting to know that God’s creation is working just as he designed it to do.
Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Even as we are made to sorrow by losses at home and on the battlefields, we are comforted by the knowledge that like the new life all about us in the springtime, those who know Christ shall be gathered in new bodies to live in an eternal springtime with Him.


BEHOLD HIS GLORY
Behold the glory of God!
In field, in wood, and sky;
Behold it when the storm clouds
Bring lightning flashing nigh

Behold His glory when leaves unfold,
And blossoms scent the air;
Behold it when by grace, He comes
And takes our every care

Behold His glory in sun-warmed earth,
In mountain and in sky;
Behold it in the one who died
For such a worm as I.

His glory is told by all He made;
It bears the print of His mighty hand.
His glory, His love, His wonderful grace,
He offers it ALL to man!

His glory, He gave to my Saviour;
His love was made known on the cross.
By grace, He saved me and promised
I’d never suffer loss.

His glory is shown in the mountain,
In field, and forest, and sea.
But His glory and love and wonderful grace
Are seen best at Calvary!
