This last week we had a couple of big snowstorms in the mid-south. It's unusual to see a storm deliver six inches of snow here, and it's even more unusual to have two of these storms come within a few days of each other. The temperatures were below freezing for almost a week, and sometimes down to single digits, even to 7*F, which is cold for us. Here is a picture that captured the beauty of the snow when the sunshine finally broke out.
It was an illustration of the glory of the sunlight and the blue sky, on the backdrop of fresh snow. Jonathan Edwards once remarked that a brilliantly clear day was just a glimpse of the glory that we will see in heaven. This picture was especially glorious as the previous two days had been overcast and dreary.
Let's remember that the sun rises every day, and its light and glory are sometimes blocked by clouds and storms. And just like the truth of God, we know the light is always there and that we must turn to Scripture for its light upon our lives. This Light is Christ who can awaken us and inspire us to live in grace and truth for God.
Revelation 21:23, "And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb."
