Spring Growth β€” What Joy!

Spring certainly brings variable weather and new growth.

In Isaiah 55:10–11 we read, β€œFor as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, … so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose …”

Sharing God’s Word comes with the promise that it will accomplish God’s purpose. We may be the seed-sower, or the one who nurtures, but God gives the growth. (See 1 Corinthians 3:16–17).

Are you familiar with this verse? For you shall go out in joy …” (Isaiah 55:12a).

It is a lovely tie-in to the beginning of our mission statement β€” As Lutheran Women in Mission we joyfully proclaim Christ …!

This spring, I pray you find joy in sharing Christ, supporting missions, and serving others, knowing it is all part of God’s plan for us.
