Snow Way!

Wednesday, December 07, 2011
Snow Way! I woke up this morning at around 1AM (see Monday’s blog for an explanation…ha) to a surprise outside. My dogs were barking, so I glanced out the back door to make sure they were ok, when what to my wondering eyes should appear! No, not Santa Claus…but something almost as shocking! The ground, the trees, my vehicle – all of it – covered in a pretty thick layer of snow!
If I remember correctly, when I listened to the weather man yesterday, he predicted no accumulation in our area. Yes, snow flurries were expected, but only in Eastern and Northeastern Arkansas were they to expect to actually see it sticking. And, because a slim majority of the time the weatherman is right, I took him at his word. There’s only one problem with his forecast: we have a few inches on the ground outside right now.
No, I’m not hating on the weatherman. He makes mistakes, we all do – big deal. But if there’s ever been a time to remind ourselves of Who really is in control of our weather systems, it’s right now.
It’s always funny to me when folks tell a weather person to make it snow, or to make the rain stop, or to “put in an order” for sunny weather. Sometimes they humor us all and pretend they’ve done their best to bring us a good forecast. We all know, though, that they simply report what is already going to happen. They have no control over the weather.
But He does. Throughout Scripture we see examples of weather that came as a result of the hand of God moving. He’s the same God today as yesterday; the same in AD 2011 as in 2011 BC. He knew we’d have snow, even when the “professionals” didn’t.
Weather, though, is such a small thing in the grand scheme of things. Sure there’s snow on the ground, but we’re still having school today, folks are still going to work – life still goes on.
Maybe this issue of weather control should remind us of another great Truth: God has His hand in a lot more than the weather. He’s still in charge. He’s still all-knowing. He’s still all powerful. And He is still truthworthy.
So today, remind yourself that God’s in control. Lay your life into His hands and allow Him to accomplish His purposes and plans with who you are. Snow is great, but an even greater, more exciting adventure awaits those whose lives are under the complete Lordship of Jesus.



That’s just a thought, and I welcome yours.
Until next time,
