If you are like me you love the summer.  I like the hot weather and my fondest memories of youth revolve around the summer season.  There is so much to do whether you like walking, running, swimming, biking, hiking or some other activity.  We could spend our every waking moment doing these things that make us happy and bring joy to our lives. 

 

However, regardless of how bad we want nice days, rainy days will come and the summer will end.  Life is balance and seasons.  If we had summer year round we would become bored with it.  We appreciate it because it is limited.  For those that like cool weather, you long for the autumn colors and cool evenings.  We appreciate these things too, because they are limited.  The seasons come and go. 

 

Over time it is easy to begin to take these things for granted.  We can get lulled into enjoying the physical joys and pleasures of life and forget about our spiritual life.  With each beautiful summer day we can see the handiwork of an incredible God.  With each rainy day, we can know the provision of a God that knows what we need.  Incline you eyes to the Lord today, see what he will show you.  Incline your ear to the Lord today and hear the truth he will speak into your life.  Incline your heart to him and he will show you what an awesome and holy God He is.
