The first snow of the season is especially beautiful, so white and clean.
This clean snow reminds me of the verse in Psalm 51:7 that says, “Purify me from my sins and I will be clean; wash me and I will be whiter than snow.” It is because of Jesus taking on human form (which we are getting ready to celebrate at Christmas) and then shedding his blood for our sins that we can be cleansed from our sin and made whiter than snow. Our black ugly sins cleansed to become whiter than snow! Amazing!
This past week in my Bible Study Fellowship lesson we talked about how does God’s creation respond to Him? I think the white snow is one way that the heavens tell of the glory of God and display His marvelous craftsmanship (Psalm 19:1). The beauty of the rainbow, the colors of the leaves in fall, the vast variety of flowers and their colors, the gorgeous sunsets here on Lake Michigan are just a few ways God’s creation respond to Him.
God created everything and it exists for His pleasure. Therefore, He is worthy to receive glory and honor and power. If the snow and the sunsets are glorifying God, how much more should we who are created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26-27) praise and glorify HIm?
How will you praise and glorify God today?
On the journey,
