Welcome to March 2025 to each of you from OGBC! Here comes Spring…maybe! I think the ground hog said we are going to have 6 more weeks of winter, but you never know for sure around here. We have a lot of things going on this month in addition to Sunday school classes and morning worship. Wednesday night services as well. We start new Sunday school classes on March 2nd so pick you out a class and join us. 1st Sunday lunch that day as well. Small Group Bible Study at the Burrows will begin March 21st and we have the Beast Feast coming up on March 23rd so get your “Wild game” recipes ready.
The month of March has always been exciting to me. The first day of Spring is March 20th (which was my mom’s birthday) and she always loved the jonquils when they bloomed. The excitement of seeing the seasons change reminds me of God’s creation. The beauty of everything working together and seeing the trees, flowers and everything coming out of hibernation. Some scripture that reminds me of creation and the changing of the seasons:
Gen 1:1-2
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
John 1:3
All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
Isaiah 40:28
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.
Daniel 2:20-21
Daniel answered and said: “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding;
To God belongs wisdom and might. And He changes times and seasons! Once again, we are reminded of God’s supremacy and sovereignty over all seasons. There is a might and a power resonating within these verses as it establishes God’s omnipotence over kings of the earth and His omniscience over the wisest among us. How peaceful can it be to spring forward into the capable power of God as He intimately controls the circumstances and seasons of our lives?
Praying blessings for each of you this month!
