(11) Look the winter is past, and the rains are over and gone. (12) The flowers are springing up, the season of singing birds has come, and the cooing of turtle doves fills the air. (13) The fig trees are forming young fruit, and the fragrant grapevines are blossoming. Rise up my darling! Come away with me, my fair one!"
Song of Songs 2:10-13. NLT
This part of this beautiful love song is one of success, a way forward. Like Spring, everything is fresh, new life flows throughout the world; a new hope!
Throughout our world, the Coronavirus continues to take its toll and yet, the birds are still singing - have you heard them? The doves are still cooing. Many of us are on lockdown because of the pandemic, however, if you have a garden while the sun shines, we can sit there and hear the birds as they busily go about their daily routine. If you haven't a garden, then these can still be heard as you take your daily walk.
If you stop and think about it, the birds haven't a care in the world. They know their Heavenly Father will feed and take care of them. (Matthew 6:26-34). And really, God wants us to be this way too. Apart from taking care of ourselves and praying, there's little we can do to stop this virus. Therefore, it may be a time to allow God to take over the helm. He wants to feed and clothe us; He wants to protect us. Let us take Him up on His offer of: 'Seek the kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.' (Matthew 6:33 NLT).
And like Solomon writes here, it's time to rise up; the winter is past, new life is to be had. In other words, don't let the Coronavirus keep you in fear - your success is on the horizon!
