#snow #snowno

It is almost unbelievable that it is snowing again. Hopefully, prayerfully, please God let it be so -ly this is the last storm of the winter season. Here is my attempt to stay positive with some Scriptural thoughts about snow.

• Snow can remind me that the power of God is beyond my comprehension

Job 37:5-6 – God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend. For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth,’ likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.

• Snow can remind me that the forgiveness of God can cleanse the worst of my sin stained heart and life

Isaiah 1:18 – “Come now, let us reason together, says the Lord: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool.

Psalm 51:6-7 – Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

• Snow can remind me that God’s Word, His promises, commands, exhortations, warnings and encouragements are sent to us for a reason and they will accomplish their purpose.

Isaiah 55:10–11 – “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

• Snow can remind me of the purity of God, and of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ

Daniel 7:9 – “As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.

Revelation 1:13–15 – And in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.

• Snow can remind me of the utter helpless of myself and the rest of mankind

Job 38:22–23 – “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail, which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?”
