"He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes. He hurls down His hail like pebbles. Who can withstand His icy blast?'- Psalm 147:16-17 (NIV).
Nature demonstrates the awesome power of God. Snow is one of the Lord's most beautiful winter displays; a marvel to behold. What was once a junkyard is transformed into a hill covered by a blanket of dazzling white snow. The snow covered junkyard is an analogy of our sinful lives being covered by God's grace and forgiveness. Scripture says our sins are red like scarlet, but God makes them white as snow (Isaiah 1:18). Unrepentant sins, however, leaves lives marked like a hail damaged car after a freakish storm. God's icy blast sends hail like pebbles. Who can withstand? No one! If our bodies truly resembled the condition of our soul, would you choose to be a dazzling snow covered landscape or a marked wreck piled high in a scarlet hued junkyard?
