Creating A Future

Overnight we started to get the first snow of the season. Tiny white flakes fall from the blue-gray skies, with larger clumps accumulating and falling from the white outlined barren trees in the forest. Like tiny messages from the heavens, these reminders tell us that seasons change, and the the future continues to be created one day at a time, one moment at a time. And the pattern was set from the beginning.

Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

And so we have longer, warmer summer days, and colder, shorter winter ones. We have the dance of life when the trees and plants put forth their buds in the spring time, the glorious blooms and green grasses of summer, the artists’ pallette of colors in the fall, and the purity and stillness of the winter snowfall. We are blessed to know that no matter what happens, the future comes.

Psalms 89:34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

So this morning was different for me. For the first time in my recent adult years, I was blessed to see the winter snow. It is given as a sign that God is still in charge, He has set in motion that which cannot be stopped, He has said He will give us life, and that more abundantly. He has set the day of rest for us to find our way into Yahuah’s (Lord’s) presence.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are worthy of our praise. We long for Your kingdom. Praise the name Yahuah! Send us today Your overwhelming provision. Forgive us our sins. Heal us up that we might serve You. Deliver us from the enemy that steals and destroys. Our enemy has stolen from us so many things till we cannot get away from the burden left behind. Deliver us from this burden. Come with a strong hand and outstretched arm to destroy the works that enslave Your people. Come quickly. We ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
