Warm Blankets

When snow falls it is often referred to as a blanket. Often I have thought about how this seems at least a little odd. Fluffy whiteness everywhere can be viewed as a soft and fuzzy blanket. Most often have thought of a blanket as a source of warmth and comfort for sure. Growing older I have come to learn to see the snow as a source of comfort at times, and other times not so much.

But the truth is, it can be a comfort for us if we let it. It can be a comfort because God made it for us. Comfort because scriptures us it to describe the washing away of our sins.

Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18 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.
19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

If we can learn to take what we see, and reach out to our Father with it, it can comfort us. Even in the winter, there is the snow that reminds us of scripture and His great love.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King! Praise the name Yahuah! Let us be Your lights on the earth. Send us now Your overwhelming abundant provision. Forgive us our sins. Restore our health and safety. Restore unto Your people one hundred times one hundred times one hundredfold all prosperity that has been taken or held back from Your people in any way. Rise up, O King, and strike down the evil that tries to oppress Your people. WE ask all these things in the name of our Messiah Yeshuah (Jesus). Amen.
