White as Snow

It’s white as snow today.

It’s been zero degrees.

Zero.

That’s nothing!

It feels like more than nothing, though.

I’m sitting here warm as can be under my blanket in my heated home with a fireplace that has remained active all day.  This first covering of snow for the season has a beauty to me that none can compare.  God releases these white flakes from His storehouse.  He directs them to fall on the earth. He sends them down like white wool.  White as snow.

What a beautiful rendering of that today.

White as snow describes an angel’s clothing.

White as snow describes God’s head of hair.

White as snow describes the color our scarlet sins are made.

This earth’s winter costume change can be a covering that all is right with the world from my comfy cozy chair and my white as snow view. But, what’s underneath is still there.  What a lavish prompt to be inspired that we are made just as clean as this freshly fallen snow.  Even if we’re red as crimson.

And the snow obeys.

And so should we.

On a day like today,

may we be reminded.

He is the way.

He covers a stained earth.

White as snow.

That is more than just nothing.

In fact,

that is everything.
