So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10


Spring has come! Flowers are blooming, baby birds are chirping, and the grass is looking greener. The world around us is brimming with new life, restoration, and the expectation of brighter, warmer days.


The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come... Song of Solomon 2:11-12


Spring was a hopeful, redemptive, miraculous time of year for God's people, and it was the season God often intervened on their behalf. Throughout scripture, God helped, protected, rebuilt, and miraculously saved Israel in the Spring. In Hebrew, the word used for spring is “Aviv” and it signified a new season had begun. The first month of Spring was called “Nisan" and the following biblical milestones happened during Aviv:


  1. Passover – Israel was spared from God’s judgment and ushered into freed from Egypt's bondage (Exodus 12:12-13; Exodus 13:4).
  2. God prompted King Artaxerxes to allow Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem's walls (Nehemiah 2).
  3. God placed Esther in the right place at the right time. This stopped Haman's evil plans and led to their deliverance (Esther 3).
  4. Jesus Christ died for our sins and was resurrected – offering us eternal salvation and a restored relationship with God (John 19:14; 1 Corinthians 5:7-8)


This year, the Jewish Passover holiday starts on Wednesday, April 1 at sundown, and it lasts until Thursday, April 9 at sundown. It's a traditional Jewish holiday – but for those of us who aren't Jewish, if we've asked Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Savior, we have been grafted into God's family tree (Romans 11:11-22). We might not be Jewish, but we can still appreciate and enjoy the significance of this holiday.


…remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you. – Romans 11:18


Spring is a special time for all of us, and it's a great time to draw close to God!
