Through God’s Eyes
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.—1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
For to the snow he says, “Fall on the earth,”—Job 37:6 (ESV)
THIS TIME OF year, the bare trees and snow-plowed roads can bring on a solemn and lonely feeling. But if you take the time to look deeper you’ll see the cardinals and the glorious pattern of animals prints in the snow. Sometimes winter’s starkness allows a better view of the beauty you would otherwise miss.
Heavenly Father, You created seasons for a purpose. Winter is a time to rest in You, to grow our faith and discover deeper and meaningful truths.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.—1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.—Psalm 46:1 (NIV)
I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.—John 10:10 (NIV)
