Snow to me is purity in the finest form. God intends for us to see purity when it snows. It is a cleansing of the earth, just as God sent Jesus to purify us from our sins. Just reflect on the beauty of snow. Everything is so peaceful, quiet and serene during the snow. It teaches us to be a kid again, stop, put aside all of our worries. Why? Because we have forgotten the finer things in life. God has to send a reminder to us each snow. This reminder is that he purifies us. With him, and our relationship with Jesus Christ and the blood he shed for us, the sin is gone and washed white as snow. Isn't that a remarkable thing? In today's times, we needed that snow more than ever. Sin is running rampant in our country, and we have become immune to it in so many ways. Forgetting God and what is right and our purpose for being on Earth. God doesn't forget us though, he simply sends us reminders. Snow. God is telling us it isn't too late, just look around and see how pure God can make the earth, all by sending snow. The nutrients and benefits that snow bring to this earth are unmatched by humans. Why? Because only God can send something so pure to help replenish Earth. Only His son can wash away our sins as well. I'm thankful God sent us the snow for us to stop, sit back and realize that there is more to life, and that we should be reminded he is always with us.
If that isn't enough of a wake up call for us. Think about those winds you felt piercing you Friday. When we don't "figure it out" and think to look at God, he reminds you to feel his presence through the wind. Sometimes we resist, but you can't hide or forget God. He will make his presence felt--Good or Bad, I just hope its not too late for us as a Human Race. We have chosen the life that the Corinthians chose in biblical days. Life without consequences and rules, and forgetting why we are truly here. We have thrived as a nation and area just as Corinth did as the center for trade. Sin consumed them, but through this, we see God's ultimate love for the Corinthians and how to live a Godly and holy life. But with that, we also have become immune to so many sins that it is sickening to think about how we actually are tolerant to so much. We need to wake up and not forget God, and get Him back in the center of our lives, our community, our nation and our world. With that said, this leads me to the next event this week, the Earthquake.
Earthquakes don't often happen, but when they do it gets lots of attention. God is shaking us wanting to get our attention. Don't ignore this! Don't leave Him out of our lives. Seek him, please don't forget Him! He wants to rejoice with us and share the great times, and be there for you during the hard times. Hard times and trials are God's way of showing us love. It shows us that no matter what, he will be there for us and that if we seek Him and His will, even though we may not always like the outcome, we will grow stronger for the future, and things so great, that we cannot fathom at the time will come in our lives that we never would imagine, all because we trusted in God. Please use this as a wake up call. God is shaking us, wanting our attention. He wants us to thrive as a nation, a nation that is prosperous, a nation that FEARS Him and one that is there for each other. No man is without sin, but each day we can strive to be more like God's image, the image we were made from. Thank you for reading something different other than golf today, this is the real meaning and purpose for us here on Earth. Put God first today. Don't forget about Him. Thank him for all of your blessings and realize that he is with you through it all. Just know, he has promised more for us. That is why in our near horizon, life is about to SPRING--don't you just feel revived knowing that the bulbs will be flowering, the trees will be blooming, and the GRASS will be greening up! God bless each of you and please I hope and pray you will share this with someone who may need this today.
