Let It Snow

Snow has become the arch-nemesis of many northern dwellers. However, the living Puritan Dr. Joel Beeke had this to say about it after last week’s snowstorm:

The Bible speaks of snow a few dozen times—either positively, spiritually, or neutrally (never negatively!). He blankets the earth in white to accomplish His purposes (Isa. 55:10; cf. Job 37:13). Snow reflects His power and purity. He even associates the whiteness of snow with the forgiveness of sins (Ps. 51:7): “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isa. 1:18).

May these thoughts guide us in our interactions with God’s snow for the rest of this winter!
