T-shirt Time.

Spring. Praise God! I love winter, but I get excited as sunshine, green grass, and open windows become more of a reality. Especially exciting is the “changing of the wardrobe” that happens in my closet. It's fun to exchange “light” clothing for the “heavy” things I've been wearing all winter. In fact, the thought of not making the change is just silly. Should I continue wearing long sleeves and wool socks in April? (Please, God – I hope not!)

Although foolish, many of us do this in a spiritual sense. We stick to our “old” ways of doing things – even when God is doing something different. We sometimes cry and complain about new things, even when they are good. In Isaiah 43:18-19 the Lord says, “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”

God is good. He has good things for us – even if they require some change. This spring, if God is bringing you into a “new season” in life, change your wardrobe. Exchange that sweater for a t-shirt and get ready for something exciting!
