Embrace the Cold

From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds of the north. By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen. . . . Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wondrous works of God . . .(Job 37:9-14)

We shiver when just hearing the forecast; cold, windy, chance of snow with temperatures in the single digits! We shudder when we look outside and see the icicles forming by our windows and hear the howling of the winds. Yet we also witness the beauty of it all; crisp, clear air, a blanket of fresh snow covering the ground, and a stillness . . . As we go through life we learn to appreciate the seasons, but also the various aspects of God's character. This time of winter let's come to appreciate His cleansing grace and His breath of fresh mercies upon our lives. Even as we look forward to the warm summer breezes, we can still appreciate the clean, crisp winter bite. God is awesome no matter the season! He does not change. Winter, summer, spring or fall, He is still the One Creator of all!!!! He is still GOD . . .
