At this time of year I’m always anxious to see a change in my garden. The snowdrops and daffodils have faded and then everything seems to stand still. My mind is still full of winter but I want to see signs of spring. But God is always moving things on in His creation, nothing stands still. He is always surprising us with new things in creation and in our own lives..
Just imagine how the disciples and followers of Jesus must have felt. Jesus was dead. In their minds everything and all events had stopped. We know now that Easter Sunday is coming but they didn’t or actually they had been told but they couldn’t visualize it. They even went back to their day job.
In our dark days we tend to forget what God has told us in the Bible through His promises. Page after page there are words of encouragement. Many offers of hope can be found. There is no need to despair. Easter Sunday is coming, after all these centuries we know it to be true. In my garden a lot is happening, although I can’t see much. The worms are working hard, roots are extending and becoming established. The soil is warming up ready to feed the plants. My garden will have it’s Easter morning. Christ will rise again, hope will be realised.
