SPIRITUAL WINTER Our spiritual winter is a time of darkness. The trees are barren and the flowers have withered and died. Spiritual winter is the most uncomfortable time for many Christians, We might feel that God has deserted us during our Spiritual Winter, but this is the time to curl up in Gods lap for warmth and intimacy. There He will give you directions for planting new crops in spring; the next season. It is also the time to exist on what has been stored from previous harvests. Winter is the time for evaluation, planning and preparation. It is the time to shovel snow and ice from the driveway of your mind. It is the time to learn to navigate the icy roads as you go about your business. It is the time when praise should be an automatic habit for it will keep your heart warm before a holy God. Spiritual winter is like the Sabbath. During spiritual winter, it is normal to feel like God is not hearing our prayers or speaking to us. We may feel like we are having a wilderness experience. Our inclination is to pray harder or more or anything but to remain; but must remain in the season of rest. We may feel like our ministry is unfruitful and assume it is dying. But during winter, there is no fruit bearing and it is a time or spiritual rest. In winter, reflect on God and Gods faithfulness to you and maintain an attitude of reverence before God.
