Today’s Topic: A Prophecy of Spring

TODAY’S READING
Mark 13:28-31
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
In every season, God is near.
The Upper Room Devotional For 31st October 2022
Jesus said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” – Mark 13:31 (NRSV)
Winter can be a challenge in Norway. We have only a couple hours of sunshine each day which means it is largely cold and quiet. Even the birds are silent with one main exception: the coal tit.
I can be at my forest cabin in January and hear the coal tits singing from the large spruce tree outside. For me, the solitary song of this bird is a prophecy of spring, warmth, and sunshine. The snow will melt. Green leaves will grow. Life will return.
Life is not always easy. Disappointments, health challenges, and the death of loved ones can feel like the dark, cold, quiet days of a Norwegian winter. We find ourselves wondering: When will the light return? When will I feel peace?
In the lesson of the fig tree, Jesus tells us that the love of God is always near, even when the darkness overwhelms us. I listen to the coal tits singing in January, and I sense God is near.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Dear Lord, thank you for letting us know that you are near, even in the darkness of winter. We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
PRAYER FOCUS
Those living in isolation
