White as Snow

 

     Experiencing a February thaw in Minnesota is invigorating.  Warm sunshine, melting snow, birds chirping. Ahhh!  But it’s still winter.

     As we chop ice and clear snow and stretching our aching backs, we can pause and notice the beauty of the snow.  Be reminded of God and His word. Snow will replenish the earth and get it ready for spring. And it will cover the dirt and the dust with a beautiful white. It’s what Jesus did for us!

   “Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.  Isaiah 1:18

  As the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my Word that goes out from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.  Isaiah 55:10-11

 Dear Lord,

We do thank You for Your word and for Your Son. He cleanses our sins white as snow. Keep our minds on You as You replenish our souls.

Amen
