and stay on
the ground to water the earth.
They cause the grain to grow,
producing
seed for the farmer
and bread
for the hungry.
It is the same with my word.
I send it
out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to,
and it will
prosper everywhere I send it.” Isaiah 55:10-11 New Living Translation
A co-worker emails a daily
Bible verse and a week ago, she sent this one. A great passage, but I can’t get
past the word “snow”. Because here it is almost the middle of April and we
still have snow on the ground.
On Friday, as Hubby and I
were driving home from vacation, there were white-out conditions and we got a
fresh four inches in the backyard. We’ve had a relatively mild winter, few days
where the temperatures stayed below zero and no big snow storms, so we’ve been
anticipating an equally pleasant spring. But it’s as if old man winter is just
spreading the season out this time, making up for lost time in January and
February.
As the Bible passage above
says, we need the moisture to water the ground so our plants can come up. But
why can’t that moisture be rain and not snow? The saying isn’t “April snow showers bring May flowers”.
“It will accomplish all I
want it to,” God says. So whether snow, rain, monsoon, or even drought, God’s
got His plan and we have to go with it.
Lord,
Heavenly Father, thank you for the weather You send. Help us to see Your glory
in whatever is in our skies above. Amen
