Why so Downcast?


The hope for those who know the Lord:

The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. (Isaiah 35)

A crocus is a showy flower, among the first to bloom in the spring.  Wow.

·         The promise is that when we’re dry and parched, we will be glad.
·         The promise is that when we’re wandering around in the wilderness, we will rejoice and blossom!
·         The promise is that we will BURST into bloom at the first hint of spring!
·         The promise is that we will rejoice greatly and shout for joy!

Don’t be downcast today.  Put your hope in God.
