WAIT

 January is the time of waiting for all of God's creation.  The land waits for moisture, warming sunlight, and for the return of spring to produce blossoms, young animals, and beauty. During this time people also wait - for the growth of the spirit into a deeper relationship with God.  During this quiet time a person learns to depend on God for the growth of the knowledge of Him,  

In the shadows

waiting for the sunlight to warm

the seeds of spring 

snuggle into the deep soil of the earth.

WAITING TO RENEW LIFE!

In this natural cycle,

man also waits -

for the RETURN

of the all powerful SON OF GOD

who will gather His people back into the fold -

our shelter from the evil of the world.

WAIT 

patiently

quietly

faithfully

WAIT FOR

the guidance of God.  He will direct your steps, thoughts, and actions.
