Different times of the year are inspiring to different people. For example, Advent, when we remember that the Son of God became a baby, is very, very inspiring for most of us. We always look forward to Christmas to be inspired and to be reminded of the son of God that came all the way to save us. January in Zambia is a season like that for me.
There's just something hopeful and beautiful in Zambia in January, especially late afternoons when you watch those dark clouds come rolling from the distance, and you know that tonight, as you go to bed, it will be pouring. In fact, it will be pouring for most of the night. It'll happen night after night. When you go for your early morning runs, you sidestep through the water pools and you watch people, young and old, with their hoes and forks and bags of seeds. That's one time of the year where everybody's smiling when we greet each other early in the morning. Because the soil is wet. You smell the fertile soil. There's a hope, there's a chance that this year is gonna be a good year. Then when I take the turn to Jacobi Road, back to the farm, I run past this long the of children on their way to school for the first time in the new year. You can see new shoes, new shirts, if they're fortunate. Those who couldn't get new ones, wash them until they're shining. But everybody will have a step in their walk because it's a new year and it just feels like this year will be better than last year.
We had a sense like that here in Kachele this year. God just touched us right from the beginning and the richness of his word penetrated our dry hearts. For the last two weeks, every night, we packed the lounge in the main building and we sat there and together we worshipped, and then we tuck into God's word, young and old, new Christians, and people who've been following Jesus for decades. You could see the Holy Spirit moving in our midst. You could sense and feel the hope.
Yes, Lord, I want my heart to be soft like the soil outside. As it rains tonight, may your Holy Spirit reign in my heart! How is it with your heart? When you go outside early in the morning, how do you feel? Is it well with your soul?
