Have I said lately how much I love springtime? In case I haven’t–I DO! Spring has a great mix of some winter episodes along with the start of summer mixed with beautiful days of just the right temperatures. With all of that life is showing itself in beautiful arrays with flowers opening their colorful displays of beauty. I don’t mean to get carried away here, but I do love spring!

It is so easy to look at our world of today and get somewhat discouraged with its worsening turmoil and godlessness. The influences of man in the flesh is showing itself abundantly. Yet, as I was reading I Kings this morning regarding Elijah and his time with King Ahab, God informed Elijah that He had preserved 5,000 followers for Himself. It made me smile as I read it just as it does now as I write this. God has always provided great followers for Himself. All over the world one can find these today just as in the times of Elijah. Keeping my eyes on these truths instead of on the current state of our nation/world restores hope and trust that God is never not in control. Today I rejoice in this TRUTH!
