We are not having any snow in the Dallas area this morning although it is plenty cold. I suppose it's really not that bad...only around 40 degrees...but the brisk north wind seems to cut right through you and bring the chill right down to your bones. The news and weather report last night showed scenes from El Paso where there was already an accumulation of 2" on the ground and more to come. Fortunately the ground and streets are still warm enough that the freezing precipitation was causing no driving difficulty. As I was watching the video of the snowfall it reminded me of this passage from Job 38:22-29 where God was challenging Job to consider the works of His creation:
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? What is the way to the place where the light is distributed, or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth? Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain, and a way for the thunderbolt, to bring rain on a land where no man is, on the desert in which there is no man, to satisfy the waste and desolate land, and to make the ground put forth grass? Has the rain a father, or who has begotten the drops of dew? From whose womb did the ice come forth, and who has given birth to the hoarfrost of heaven?
The evidence of the reality of God is around us all the time. It is as the apostle Paul writes for us in Romans 1:20, "Ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature, namely, His eternal power and deity, has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made." Even if you do not open your Bible every day, be sure to open your eyes every day to see the amazing creation of God that is around us all the time. Your faith can grow and be strengthened...even if it does make you shiver a little bit! Have a great day!
