Treasures of the Snow
“Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow, or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail?” Job 38:22
“For He saith to the snow, be thou on the earth…” Job 37:6
It’s a winter wonderland outside and my thoughts turn once again in wonder and awe of God the Creator. From the safety of my warm house, I love to watch the gently falling snow as it silently settles a thick blanket of white over every thing. It seems to fall from an endless storehouse. What an amazing way to water the earth in winter time! Beauty blended with practicality from an omnipotent, all-surrounding God. Like Job, I do not fully understand it. I have not entered into the “treasures of the snow.” Even those who have made it their goal to understand the mysteries of the elements cannot control or avoid what God causes to be governed by exact and unchangeable laws of nature. Just as God spoke the world into existence, His voice commands the snow to be on the earth. I marvel at the beauty of the snow, but more than that, I worship the amazing Almighty Creator God. I lift my heart in praise because the same sovereign Lord is in control of all that concerns me.

Hey Carol! I heard about you from my friend Ally, and I've been reading since. I wanted to comment on this, because at the current moment, I'm looking outside and wondering why it's snowing. I totally feel like Job. I mean, it seems to be something so beautiful and precious, yet, sometimes I just get lazy, and I feel annoyed that it's so cold out. To be honest, I don't like cold weather. I think that this brings a new perspective to my life though. It's nice to know that God has a purpose for even the snow.

What a blessing that our Saviour sees us "white as snow"---we are cleansed by Him!!
It has been said that no two snowflakes are alike.....WOW, what a creator!!
To think that God created me and loves you sooo much more than you can fathom!!!
May you find that serenity in knowing that beauty of the snow and seasons was for your pleasure !
God loves you just the way you are, but loves you too much to leave you that wasy!
I love the new look! Cant imagine snow, as it is in the 90's here. Just dropped by to say I am praying for you daily.
