April showers bring May flowers.
We have little sayings like that to remind us that good is coming. We remember that April normally has a lot of rain (in my opinion too much of it fell on weekends this year... just sayin'), and that May will have more sunshine.
Sayings like this are meant to inspire hope on a cloudy day. Unfortunately today is May first and it is raining. Nature does not always follow those sayings to the letter. Much to my dismay... since I wanted to ride my motorcycle to work today.
Sigh.
That is what happens when we trust in the wisdom of man. There can be some truth in it, but the ultimate source of truth is the Word of God itself. When the two collide, the wisdom of man and the Word of God, the Word of God will triumph every time.
Everything we need to live a life fully alive is contained in the pages of that book. Secrets hidden from the foundation of the world. Visions of heaven, God's love, fencing, fighting, true love... (sorry couldn't resist,, some of you will get that reference).
It is all there, along with the Holy Spirit to teach us what it means.
"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account." Heb 4:12 -13(NIV)
