Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJV) 3 ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’
I live in New England, where the winters are cold and snow falls from time to time.
I have lived here all my life. I was born here and have never lived anywhere else. So, you’d think that I would love the winters.
But I don’t.
Over the years, I have grown to despise the cold and snow. I very much prefer warmth over cold. I prefer to be able to go outside to walk, go fishing, spend time at the range practicing my shooting skills and enjoying the outdoors in general.
We have considered moving south, where it is warm all year. But we have never felt the release by God to do that. So, we stay put for now.
Today, as I write this, it is cold and snowing.
I find this oddly symbolic. Let me explain.
On this day, there is a very dark presence in the spiritual atmosphere.
That presence is strong. It is foreboding. It taunts.
It is the culmination of decades of activity by some very dark players, both in the natural, and in the spiritual realm.
This presence causes many to fall into despair and question the very foundations of their faith.
Now, let me get back to snow, and why I mentioned it earlier.
Even though I don’t like snow much, I see the snow that’s falling today as being very symbolic.
Snow is pure and it is white. It gives the colorless winter landscapes here in New England a fresh new look, covering up all of the gray, brown, dead-looking trees.
It’s like a sign of life and purity in the midst of a season of death.
You see, God has a way of speaking to us that we might miss if we’re not careful and vigilant to see it or hear it.
He is saying, “I’ve got this. This is not the end. It is the beginning. Follow me as I lead. Keep your eyes on Me. I will show you great and mighty things.”
We need to trust Him in all things, even when what we see with our eyes might not look the way we think it should.
