Snow Day

On your snow day today, be amazed at how great God is.  Look outside...step away from the facebook and tv and look outside.  Try counting all the snowflakes as they fly around.  Did you know that Job 37:6 says that God orders the snow to fall on the ground?  Did you know that God creates each snowflake to be different?  Did you know that God knows the exact time every snowflake will hit the ground all around the world?  AMAZING!!!

The knowledge and sovereignty of God should always have us amazed.

Isaiah 1:18 - "Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool."

Have you ever had a bloody nose or have some blood get on your white t-shirt?  The blood ruins the shirt.  Isaiah says that our sins are as scarlet and red like crimson.  Sin, is like a stain on your heart that you can NEVER get out.  No matter how much you scrub with the stain stick of being kind to others or bleach it with giving to the poor, it will NEVER come out.  You will have that stain with you the rest of your life.  What is worse, that stain will cause you to be cast into the lake of fire.  And there is nothing you can do about it!  BUT GOD, who created the heavens and the earth, can take that stain of scarlet and make it as white as snow.  He can take away an hint that you ever had crimson on you at all.  He can take your heart and scrub it clean, and He does this by using...get this...the blood of Jesus Christ.  For it is through the shedding of blood that we have forgiveness of sin.  It is through the blood that we can have eternal life.

Trust in Him today.  Ask for forgiveness so that you can look outside at the pure white snow and say, "That is what my heart look like!"

Praise be to God who gave us this great picture!!!
