Groundhog Day 2024

Can a groundhog really tell the future? C'mon . . . who really believes that anyway. Even the best meteorologists can predict past a week or two! However, I know who does know the future . . . yes, that's right . . . God! He has been there and back again and wants to guide us to it and through it!

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”  As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.  If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. (James 4:13-17)

Today people will be watching what a groundhog does as he comes out and wanders around the ground. 

  • Will he see his shadow or not? 
  • Will we have six more weeks of winter or and early spring? 
Really . . . a groundhog? It's pretty simple: If there is sunlight or TV cameras in his area, he will probably see a shadow! 
  • But does he really care about his shadow? 
  • Is he really looking? 
  • Who did he tell anyway?
I think it is still best to seek God and follow His plans for us (Jeremiah 29:11, Proverbs 3:5-6, etc) I think He would know more than a groundhog!
