The Grace of Weather

I used to say all the time I hated the snow and I only believe God created it by faith. But coming back to New England I have gained a new appreciation for the glory of snow and all the weather God creates!

In snow, you see at times the beautiful white picture of purity as well as breathing in the crisp clean air. Or in other parts of the world, even in the worst places I have been from shanty towns in Manila to the poverty of Haiti, there are still birds singing, sun shining and beautiful skies. All this is Gods creation, His message to us that He is. His creative joyful handiwork in the animals, the colors of a rainbow, the glory of an ocean. His humor in the creating of things like an ostrich. And of course there are the questions, why the mosquito God? lol. His creation is a panoramic view for us to see again who He is and what He is like. Martin Luther said;

“God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.”  

Oh the glory of a clear night and the stars on display! Or an amazing sunset like the ones Gina and I have been seeing. Colors so beautiful. So as you wake up and get up and walk through your day try to slow down, listen, look and see the gospel of grace in this glorious creation He has put you in. It is a reminder from our Father to us that He loves and delights in us. That He is for us always. He is with us, never leaves ever. Never abandons us. Look around today, rest in and enjoy the grace of the gospel on display for you.

Rest In His grace today,
