The Long Cold Winter


This winter has been one for the record book. We have had snow on the ground for weeks and went through several weeks of sub-zero wind chills. After a while, one day of 30 degree weather and a little sunshine is truly a blessing.
Life is like this. There are seasons we go through and depending on your age you will find that your life is in winter, spring, summer or fall. Solomon, in the wisdom that God gave him, commented that "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:" (Ecc 3)and then he list those things that we have all gone through.
Some of you might find yourself in the winter season where things seem cold and unpleasant. Some might be in the spring where things are new and growing. Still others might be in summer where it's hot and sticky or some find themselves in the fall season as some things come to an end.
I want you to know that whatever season you are in, God is sovereign and is in control of it all. When the wind is blowing -30 or the sun is beating down 100+, the God who created all things cares about you and your life. He wants our life to bring Him glory. No matter the circumstances, we may be in, He deserves the glory because He is God. He is Creator, Sustainer, Provider, Defender, Author and Perfecter of our faith, Holy, Righteous, Omnipresent, Omniscience, and Omnipotent.
I want to encourage you and me that no matter what we face the Lord is worthy of our praise, so let's give it to Him.
When I think of this winter season I remind myself of this statement...and it came to pass. Blessings
