Job 37

We are in the middle of a severe snowstorm. As I waded out to feed the horses, the snow was up to my knees, which made me reflect on Job 37: 9, 10.

‘⁹The stormy wind comes from its chamber, and the driving winds bring the cold. ¹⁰God’s breath sends the ice, freezing wide expanses of water.’

Our pond is solid ice, and with the blanket of snow, it’s hard to tell there’s even a pond there. A variety of birds braved the harsh winter wind to visit our bird feeder and grab a bite to eat. The brutal winter storm and today’s reading are such a great reminder of how great, powerful, and incredibly undescribable God is.

In the harsh winter morning, it made me appreciate God in a new way. He’s created this universe, holds it all together, and loves all of his creation, from the little birds to us little human beings, immensely. I can’t imagine the greatness of His power.

‘⁵God’s voice is glorious in the thunder. We can’t even imagine the greatness of his power.  

²³We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty; but even though he is just and righteous, he does not destroy us.

Job 37: 5 and 23

God’s love, mercy, grace, and his immense, glorious power are always there for us, regardless of the season we are going through.

‘²⁴Look at the ravens. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds! ‘
Luke 12:24

¹¹We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, ¹²always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. ‘

Colossians 1:11-12
