Flowering trees are budding out beautifully in North Texas! Everywhere the glorious colors of an early spring remind us of God's renewing grace. The stunning colors of the trees also remind me of Psalm 1 which says that the one who delights in God's word and meditates on it is like a tree which "yields its fruit in season."
When we spend regular and frequent quality time reading God's word and prayerfully thinking about its meaning for us we become like trees "planted by streams of water". We are filled with God's truth and equipped by His Spirit so that when the "season" comes we can offer the fruit of God's word to a hungry soul.
We don't know when those opportunities will come. Not every moment is the right season for sharing a word from God's truth. Only God knows when someone is ready for a word from Him. But if we delight in His word and take it into our own heart and mind regularly, we will be ready when He is ready; when the season is right.
