This week, the southeast was served a rare winter treat: a measurable snowfall! As I looked out the window and saw the ground blanketed in snow, I was reminded of the beauty and power of God described in Psalm 147:15-18. This passage paints a vivid picture of God’s sovereignty over creation:
“He sends out his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. He gives snow like wool; he scatters frost like ashes. He hurls down his crystals of ice like crumbs; who can stand before his cold? He sends out his word, and melts them; he makes his wind blow and the waters flow.”
The snow, frost, and ice are all under His command. With a single word, He sends the snow to cover the earth and melts it the next day. Through every season and weather pattern, God reminds us of His authority over creation and His power to sustain it.
Beyond the beauty of snow, these moments in nature are a gift—a reminder to turn our hearts to worship the Creator. The variety of weather and seasons reflects His creativity, His care, and His power.
The next time you see the snow falling or feel the chill of frost, let it remind you of the One who made it all. He is an amazing God, worthy of our praise.
