Spring time brings New Life

Hello to everyone out in SoGospelNews land, I hope you all are having a good year so far, and if not I hope this will give you a little spring in your soul and in your step to have a better month.

I was thinking about spring time and how it relates to our Christian life. In the spring new life begins, springs start flowing out of the rocks down through the mountains and out to the valleys, everything is fresh and new. This is how God wants us to be as Christians to the world, new and fresh, a spring of living water.

In John 4, it is talking about the woman at the well, and we have all read the story, but something caught my attention. She did not know what or who was before her; this was the Son of God standing before her offering her life, fresh water. We as Christians forget what we are doing and what we have been called to do as a vessel of God; we are to show life to the world one person at a time.

John chp7 refers to the Living water as “Eternal life”, how is the world going to know if we do not show them first and live it before them, so we can share with them the Love of God and the way to have Eternal Life?

This study took me back to the old testament where the priest had to do certain things before coming to the people, they had to be prepared to go before the King of Kings, “God Almighty,” they had to wash and prepare their minds as well as their bodies; yes we are living under Grace and we all have to be very thankful for this, but walk with me here for a moment. If we are the priesthood of the Almighty King, we need to be sure that we are all we can be when we go out and minister to the world. Isaiah 55 tells us to “Come all you who are thirsty, come at no cost." Psalm 42 talks about how the "deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you oh God." Are we truly looking for God? Psalm 36:7-9, talks bout “How Priceless is your unfailing love, both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings," vs 9 says “ for with you is a fountain of Life “ and in Jeremiah, God is called the Spring of Living Water. God’s word is Living Water, it is a Fresh Well, and He is New Life. Just as we see all the new life beginning each spring, the flowers blooming, the trees give new shade and the grass turns the lushest color of green. Friends, God is the main stream, and we are all one little spring flowing through out this land. The Word tells us “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”. If we are drinking out of the spring waters, the freshness of God is going to flow out of us.

Let us have the spring of New Life in our steps and the water of the spirit flowing out of our month. Let us show God’s Love; We are all in this together and let us show the world that Southern Gospel Music Fans and Artist are on fire for the Lord God Almighty and we are overflowing with the springs of Living Water, let us be a vessel of Honor full of the Living Water.

God Bless you all and I pray that you’ll have a new spring in your step as the joy of the Lord spills out of your heart onto everyone you come into contact with.

Blessings,
