"Oh the weather outside is (soon to be) frightful, but the fire is so delightful. And since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" Remember that song, usually played with the secular Christmas music on the radio in December? Well, the snow's a coming this weekend, they say, this Friday night and Saturday. Lord willing, it will be over with so we can worship on Sunday.
To be honest, I am ready for another good snowfall, but I will be ready for spring soon after - by this time next week I will be REALLY ready for spring. I am just thankful to the Lord that He sets and governs the seasons. That is true not only for weather seasons, but the seasons of life as well. Ecclesiastes 3.1 says, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven." Later on Ecclesiastes says "I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor taken from it. God has done it so that people may fear before him." (Eccl. 3.14, emphasis mine.) I don't know about you, but I need to have more reverence before the Lord. As the snow comes (assuming the weatherman is right), will I marvel at the beauty and the power of God in that aspect of His creation?
