Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like streams in the Negeb! The spring weather in East Tennessee is very unpredicatable. One day you can have snow and ice and the next day the temperatures can rise to the sixties. When this happens the melting snow drips down the rocks onto the vegetation below, encasing everything in an inch or two of ice. As the sun reflects and shines through the ice the plants become like sculptures glistening with diamonds. They seem to just reflect joy. The ice is still present but there is the promise of spring.
When everything in our lives seems as cold and hard as ice it is important to look back to past times when the icy times of our lives melted into bright, sparkling joy. We need to think of our tears as watering the ground preparing us for the new life that Jesus brings. When we trust God to restore our lives then he will turn our tears to bright, glistening joy. Prayer Lord God Walk with us through icy winters of sorrow and sadness. Melt the ice of our hearts and restore our joy. Amen
