“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭51‬:‭10‬-‭12‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Years ago I wrote about these very intriguing ferns in today’s photo, but I believe the message is worth sharing again. These ferns grow on old oak trees and are called “resurrection” fern’s because of their unique characteristics. When there is a dry spell the ferns turn brown and the leaves roll up appearing to be dead. However, when it rains the plant is resurrected and revived. Isn’t that awesome?

The past few weeks have been extremely busy and exhausting for me. I feel somewhat dry and shriveled up spiritually and emotionally. However, today is Spiritual Sunday and I have the opportunity to receive the rain of God’s blessings as I participate in worship. As I join in songs of praise and listen to the sermon, I know that my spiritual bucket will collect the rain so I will be resurrected and revived.

What about you? Are you in need of a spiritual resurrection? Do you need to collect the rain of blessings to revive you? My prayer this Spiritual Sunday is that each of us will not only participate in worship, but also be completely open to receive the rain God pours on us so that we may be rejuvenated for the week ahead.
