Whiter Than Snow

Scripture

“Come now, and let us reason together,” Says the LORD, “Though your sins are like scarlet, They shall be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They shall be as wool.

~Isaiah 1:18, NKJV

Quote

Nature is full of genius, full of divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.

~Henry David Thoreau

I am looking outside my office window at millions of snowflakes falling ever so gently to the ground and covering a lot of unsightly and ugly things. You don’t see any liter in the ditches, just beautiful white snow. You know we don’t get much snow this far south and when we do, we enjoy it, especially watching it fall. The kids are excited because it got them out of school. Kroger has no bread, milk or toilet paper. Dollar General has no bread milk or toilet paper, nor do they have propane. These tiny little snow flakes seem harmless and impotent but when billions stick together, they can stop traffic, even armies. Even more amazing is the fact that no two snow flakes are alike. It is a God thing, no human can explain it.

Reminds you of amazing grace; there is no explanation for God giving His Son or for the Son to give up His glory above and come here as a helpless baby, become a man and take on the sins of the world. Jesus of Nazareth became our passover Lamb and died so that we could live. It is His precious blood that washes away our sins and make us white as snow. It is amazing: His grace will cover my ugliness just like the snow covers the trash lying in the ditches. Thank you Jesus!

By the way, I would recommend you get out into the snow unless you have have bird feed for your feeder or some can biscuits, or gas. Hey, I almost didn’t make it back home. You need front wheel or 4 wheel drive. The side-by-side does pretty good but it doesn’t have a heater.

Have a great day and enjoy the snow. June and James Spann say it will not be here long. Of course June and James said we would get only ice and no snow. It looks like James and June were wrong!
