As the first flowers begin to push through the ground, rejoice. Spring is here. The glorious time to celebrate new life. Invite your spirit to be tilled by God’s Word.

Do you trust God in times of trouble or do you doubt His goodness and faithfulness? If you are having a crisis of faith, put your effort into knowing and loving Him more. Pray for help to overcome your doubt. He will fulfill your trust. He will never let you down.
