The Presence of Spring

What is your favorite type of weather?

Each season reflects different aspects of God’s nature, but if I had to choose one that most closely represents Him, spring stands out the most.

I love Spring because it symbolizes renewal and resurrection. Just as flowers bloom and new life emerges after the dormancy of winter, spring reminds me of Jesus’ resurrection and the new life we have in Him (2 Corinthians 5:17 “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”).

It represents hope and promises fulfilled. The changing of the season from winter to spring mirrors God’s faithfulness in fulfilling His promises, much like the Israelites seeing the Promised Land after their wilderness journey (Lamentations 3:22-23).

It’s a reflection of God’s creativity. The colors, the scents, the beauty of nature waking up all point to God as the ultimate Creator (Isaiah 43:19, “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”).

That said, each season tells us something about God. Summer reflects His abundance and joy, autumn speaks of His provision and the harvest, and winter reminds us of His sovereignty, rest, and preparation. God is full of what He created!
