Lockdown 170

Lockdown Day 170 - 12 September 2020
Day 170. The number 170 has particular significance to us. This was our house number when we lived in a nature estate in Namibia. 
In many ways 170 represented a new season in our life. For 6 years I thanked the Lord every morning when I walked, knowing full well seasons have a start and an end. 

We visited the Farmer's Market this morning, which is once again allowed with limited access. For a moment, I forgot about masks and sanitisers, and saw people laughing again, enjoying the outdoors. 
There were food stalls with every imaginable "street" food, from sosaties to cupcakes, coffee to ginger beer, fresh fruit and vegetables, handmade products, plants and donkey rides for the kids. 

The spring season has settled in, already beckoning summer to arrive. Today also felt like a new season in my spirit. 
Just as a farmer is connected to the land, so we should all be connected to the Spirit of God. 

In the same way a farmer enters each new season with his ear to the ground, so we should also have our ear to God's heart. 
This way we won't miss a beat or the sound of a new season He has in store for our lives and walk with Him. 
The only way forward is to follow the prompts from His Spirit, because His plans for us is better than our own. Because He's got this.
