Today is the first day that it has been just bitterly cold. Snowflakes are falling, a few patches of ice are on the sidewalks and the wind is blowing briskly, making for a day that certainly feels like winter. I love each season, as each has its own beauty to behold. I'd rather not complain about the changes and how they inconvenience me. I'd rather appreciate the elements for what they are and enjoy the day that God has blessed me to see.
Isaiah 55:10 (NLT) says "The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth, They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry." When we view today's weather from the perspective of being a part of God's daily provision for us, then surely we can deal with adding an extra layer of clothing and a few cold weather accessories.
Each morning as a family we say our "THANK YOU JESUS". Often on cold days, we thank HIM for a warm home, car to ride in and our coats, gloves, etc., things that can sometimes be taken for granted. As we feel the bitter cold of today, let us not be bitter in spirit. Give a smile or hug that warms the heart. Give a meal to warm the stomach. Give a coat or clothing to warm someone without. Give the love of CHRIST JESUS to warm and save the soul.
Romans 10:9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised HIM from the dead, you shall be saved.
